He isn't using elephants. Also, don't just consider the Falcata inferior for not being "double edges". The Falcata has a cusped edge, giving it a little more edge on the other side, which will give it greater stabbing ability. It is also longer and will grant Hannibal the ability to get around shields do to its design.
