The Battle of the Trebia (or Trebbia) was the first major battle of the Second Punic War, fought between the Carthaginian forces of Hannibal and the Roman Republic in December of 218 BC, on or around the winter solstice. It was a resounding Roman defeat with heavy losses, and yet some 10,000 and more Romans, over 2.5 legions, survived on the field and retreated in order to Placentia (Piacenza). The battle took place in the flat country of the Province of Piacenza on the left bank of the Trebbia River, a shallow, braided stream, not far south from its confluence (from the south) with the Po river. Piacenza [pjaˈtʃɛntsa] (Emilian-Romagnol: Piasëinsa,) is a city and comune in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy.
The Battle of the Trebia took place in the province of Piacenza in Roman Italy.
