I'm not sure there was an "average" infantryman in Hannibal's force, considering it included peoples from all over the western Mediterranean. He had Gauls, Iberians, Numidians, and Carthaginians, and some of those (e.g. Gauls, Iberians) were themselves subdivided into different and distinct tribes that probably had different ways of dressing and different things that they ate. There was no standardization of these forces - they came to Hannibal with their own clothing, weapons, and so on.

As with many pre-modern armies, the equipment and food of Hannibal's army was frequently just whatever they could find. Supplies would be plundered from the locals and Hannibal's forces were well known for stripping the clothing, armor, and weapons from dead Romans after their victories, as the Roman equipment was often better than their own.

I think he may have meant flour, but I can never say...
>>
>>1342030
OP here, how do you carry flour, of any kind, through highly humid and cold terrain? I know you can theorize about the means to achieve such a deed, but irl it's nearly impossible given the circumstances and materials they had.

We are talking a lot of meters beyond the sea level here.
