He rose through the ranks of the Roman army, eventually becoming one of their most trusted generals. In 218 BC, Hannibal led an army of 120,000 soldiers in a devastating campaign across the Alps, culminating in a devastating victory over the Romans at the Battle of Zama. After this victory, Hannibal and his army scattered across Europe, plundering and pillaging their way across the continent. In the end, however, Hannibal was betrayed and captured by the Romans. He was then brought to Rome and executed.; 8vo; 486 pages.
