Hannibal: A Hellenistic Life

Hannibal: A Hellenistic Life is a biography of the famous Carthaginian leader Hannibal Barca, who lived between 247 and 188 BCE. Son of the brilliant general Hamilcar, who had taken part in the First Punic War (264-241 BCE), Hannibal inherited from his father unique strategic qualities and, according to tradition, a bitter hatred of the Roman republic. Thanks to his extraordinary military skills and charisma, he was able to perform incredible ventures during the Second Punic War, crossing the Alps and inflicting disastrous defeats on Rome, seriously endangering its very existence.

The author is archaeologist Eve MacDonald, Senior Lecturer of Ancient History at Cardiff University and an expert in Carthaginian history, who decided to approach the topic in an original way. Targeted for the general public, this book is particularly suited for readers that already have a general knowledge of ancient history and have read other biographies of the great Carthaginian general.

One of my FIRST heroes and role models at 5 years old (along with #ShakaZulu), the cunning and fearless master strategist and legendary commander of the Carthaginian Military forces, Hannibal Barca... This is what history records him proclaiming to his men as they grasped at the glory of death in service to Carthage as they approach the formidable Roman gates and their great armies... So many scholars WISH he was, but Hannibal was not European... how laughable - you cannot and not permitted to pick and choose what suits your needs to feel important and select you like from Africa to deny Africa it’s due and make yourself feel good... the time of that swindling has expired... I am MORE THAN PLEASED to debate/discuss this issue of his origination with any scholar or person with an informed opinion/position... #Hannibal #HannibalBarca #Africa #African #Tunisia #General #Black #Commander #Gaul #Spain #Elephants #Punic #PunicWars #Hasdrubal #Mago #Imilce #Aspar #Barca #Carthage #Purple #Gold #Royal #Cunning #Courage #Determination #Commitment #Relentless #Ancestors #ZeGee (at Olympia, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5q68-7HrkK/?igshid=1c7cp0i7xorv6

Hannibal Barca (247-183 BCE) was a Carthaginian general during the Second Punic War between Carthage and Rome (218-202 BCE). He is considered one of the greatest generals of antiquity and his tactics are still studied and used in the present day. His father was Hamilcar Barca(275-228 BCE), the great general of the First Punic War (264-241 BCE). These wars were fought between the cities of Carthage in North Africa and Rome in northern Italy for supremacy in the Mediterraneanregion and the second war resulted directly from the first. Hannibal assumed command of the troops following his father's death and led them victoriously through a number of engagements until he stood almost at the gates of Rome; at which point he was stopped, not by the Romans, but through a lack of resources to take the city. He was called back to Africa to defend Carthage from Roman invasion, was defeated at the Battle of Zama in 202 BCE by Scipio Africanus  (236-183 BCE) and retired from service to Carthage. The remainder of his life was spent as a statesman and then in voluntary exile at the courts of foreign kings. He died in 183 BCE by drinking poison. #forgottenkingdoms #history #Carthage #punicwars #Ubuntu #romanempire #Africa #rome https://www.instagram.com/p/BwmRhjEBQqj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o5pqq5lzxd8e

The Fall of Carthage: The Punic Wars 265-146 BC

“No Roman or Carthaginian could have dreamed in 264 that their states were about to embark on a twenty-four-year struggle which would involve huge casualties, still less that it would be the first of three wars between the two peoples” (65). It is against this backdrop that the historian Adrian Goldsworthy sets his thoughtful, well-documented analysis of the Punic Wars, the multigenerational conflict between Rome and Carthage.
