Description

The War With Hannibal by Livy

Two implacable enemies whose great power was matched only by their hatred for each other, a vanquished people daring to attack their conquerors, a son determined to carry on the war started by his father. As well as being one of the most exciting episodes in history, the Second Punic War (218-201 BC) was a decisive chapter in Rome’s emergence as a great power. Rome’s victory over its ancient rival Carthage would signal a rise to dominance over the Western world. No wonder then that Livy when he set out to tell the story nearly 200 years later, described it as ‘the most momentous war ever fought’. The power and elegance of Livy’s oratorical prose is unprecedented in Latin historical writing.
