About this listen

This is the breathtaking adventure of the great Carthaginian general who shook the foundations of Rome. When conflict between Rome and Carthage resumed in 219 B.C., after a brief hiatus from the first Punic War, the Romans decided to invade Spain. Eluding several Roman legions sent out to intercept him in Spain and France, Hannibal Barca astoundingly led his small army of mercenaries over the Alps and thundered down into the Po Valley. The Carthaginian swept all resistance from his path and, as one victory led to another, drove a wedge between Rome and its allies. Hannibal marched up and down the Italian peninsula for 18 years, appearing well nigh invincible to a Rome which began to doubt itself for the first time in its history.

This violent and exciting narrative will thrill you with the accounts of heroism and brilliance displayed on both sides as the war raged mercilessly across the entire Western Mediterranean. Learn how the patience of Fabius Maximus and the genius of Lucius Cornelius Scipio finally turned the tide in this, the world's first "global" conflict...a conflict whose aftermath proved to be one of the most decisive and enduring events in world history. And finally, learn the secret to the success of Hannibal, the most brilliant military commander of all time.

Those whole control the present, control the past. Those who control the past, control the future. Rome controlled the present of its times for the single longest period in human history, hence the past also belongs to them and they created this future we live in. Ironically, the catalyst for this greatest empire that stood the test of time was for the longest time, the only and forever the greatest enemy of Rome. Vilified by uneducated notions of history, this rendition does great justice to a force of nature who’s presence reverberated over millennia. How we wish that Carthage wasn’t destroyed. The question we ask ourselves now is whether cruelty is only a function of conquest, if so why punish the cruel?
