Ket, it's definitely possible. Hannibal lost a lot of troops crossing from Iberia and fighting local tribes.his ability to assimilate people who hated Rome into his armies was a really important factor for getting reinforcements on the go. But from my research there's no evidence they lost something on the way. Most historians just talk about how silly it was not to bring siege equipment. As one of Hannibals friends said, he knew how to achieve victory but not to use it.
