The Battle of Geronium took place during the Second Punic War. The Battle of Geronium occurred in 217 BCE, and consisted of both a large skirmish, which took place in the summer, and a battle, which took place in the autumn.
After winning the Battle of Ager Falernus, the army of Hannibal marched north then east towards Molise through Samnium. Hannibal was cautiously followed by the Roman army under the dictator Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, keeping with the Fabian strategy. This policy was becoming unpopular in Rome, and Fabius was compelled to return to Rome to defend his actions under the guise of observing religious obligations.
