The way his legend was shaped in the Greek and Roman consciousness is one of the book’s main themes. Under Hannibal’s leadership, Carthage came close to dominating the western Mediterranean; his total victory would have changed the course of history. That he was a brilliant general is unquestioned and his strategy and tactics have been studied as real-life lessons in war even into the modern era (Norman Schwartzkopf is a fan). His political career is less appreciated and his achievements as civilian leader of Carthage in 196-5 BC have been virtually overlooked. The issue of whether he might indeed have changed history had he postponed conflict with Rome and concentrated first on Carthage’s own prosperity and safety is explored in this volume as vigorously as the military questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ele récit se lit avec plaisir et intérêt, émaillé qu’il est de rélfexions frappes au coin du bon sens. * L’Antiquité Classique, 79 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHannibal's chronology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItaly and Sicily in Hannibal's time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Western Mediterranean in Hannibal's time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouthern Italy 216-203 BC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Eastern Mediterranean around 200 BC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Introduction: the challenge of Hannibal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Family and city\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Barcids supreme (241-221)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Leadership and war (221-216)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Hannibal, Carthage and the Mediterranean (216-209)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Decline and defeat (209-202)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Hannibal in politics (201-195)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Hannibal in exile (195-183)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 Hannibal: memory and myth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51360236732759,"sku":"9781904675471","price":23.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781904675471.jpg?v=1754127073","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hannibal-romes-greatest-enemy-9781904675471","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
