About this listen

After the Second Punic War ended in 201 BCE, Hannibal Barca didn't fade into obscurity—he became a political reformer in Carthage, then fled into a decades-long exile across the Hellenistic world. This episode follows Hannibal's journey from suffete of Carthage to advisor to the Seleucid king Antiochus III, to his final years in the court of Prusias I of Bithynia. We explore his financial reforms, his battles against Rome in the East, and the constant threat of Roman assassination. Drawing on Polybius, Livy, and Cornelius Nepos, we ask: was Hannibal always planning a new war, or was he merely surviving? Along the way, we meet figures like the orator Cato, the Roman general Scipio Africanus, and the treacherous King Prusias. This is the untold story of Carthage's greatest general after the flames of Zama.
