Is there a piece of our historical record missing? The Romans quickly recognized this limitation and accommodated their formations accordingly— and they did so long before Hannibal had even been born. His democratic reforms and the term limitations he established for the magistrates were significant political achievements, on a par with his military victories. By a masterly application of Hellenistic warcraft Hannibal took an unprecedented toll of Rome's military strength ; on the field of Cannae , with numerically inferior forces , he encircled and destroyed a Roman army of more than 50, men.

At the height of his powers, he challenged growing Roman power, unimpressed by their recent successes against Carthage and Macedon. New Haven: Yale University Press, In the final battle, at Zama, it was the betrayal of Massinissa far more than the generalship of Scipio that decided the outcome. It was kilometers away for one thing, a lengthy march for even a fresh army. Hannibal still expanded his powerbase to the city of Tarentum, but it was kilometers from Capua. He may have believed that even with their armies wiped out, the Romans would defend the city to the death behind fortifications which would wear out his army; and that instead he could wear them out if he enticed all their allies in Italy to join him. Like most ancient biography, there is a lot of padding on the first Punic War, etc but I found the padding interesting. I have often thought about who should play Hannibal in a film; it would have to be an actor who could convey the right mix of brave soldier and wise, charismatic and inspirational leader.

Rich in detail, and very informative biography on the life and times of one of the greatest generals, strategist, and upfront leaders of antiquity. This original and compelling account is especially significant in challenging the conventional misperception of Spartan 'decline' after the loss of her status as a great power on the battlefield in BC. So he gambled. Readers also enjoyed. Religion now ebbed out of official cults into the Had Hannibal prevailed, he himself would have ranked first. Robert P. MacDonald shows I tend not to write many reviews on here, but I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this take on the life of perhaps my favorite historical figure of all, Hannibal Barca. Though he was ultimately unable to take the city, he became a prominent political figure. Reform was the first thing tried. Plutarch's biographies of eminent politicians, rulers, and soldiers combine vivid portraits of their subjects with a wealth of historical information; they constitute a uniquely important source for the period. Focus will be on a wide range of historical concepts including causation, change and continuity, significance, and similarity and difference. Enlarge cover. We see how Greek politics changed as Macedon's power grew, and we learn of the warlords who followed Alexander. Thank you. A Profile. Despite these qualities he achieved very little tangible success and his life was beset by failure and loss. Yes, because their own records were not preserved and all we have are scraps in a few quotations, plus religious and funeral inscriptions. The Roman city spread over and beyond the Punic, so that much of current archaeology is to do with post-Punic Carthage.

DESCRIPTORS *History: military Personnel: *Military Science: *Military Training: Study Guides ABSTRACT This study guide On military history is intended for use with the young officer just entering upon a military career. There are four major sections to the guide. Part one discusses the scope and value of military history, presents a perspective on military history; and examines essentials of a study program. The study of military history has both an educational and a utilitarian value. It allows soldiers to look upon war as a whole and relate its activities to the periods of peace from which it rises and to which it returns. Military history also helps in developing a professional frame of mind and, in the leadership arena, it shows the great importance of character and integrity. In talking about a study program, the guide says that reading biographies of leading soldiers or statesmen is a good way to begin the study of military history. The best way to keep a study program current is to consult some of the many scholarly historical periodicals such as the "American Historical Review" or the "Journal of Modern History." Part two, which comprises almost half the guide, contains a bibliographical essay on military history, including great military historians and philosophers, world military history, and U.S.

  • Hannibal's Gaze and Ekphrasis in the Punica Of
    VISIONS OF GRANDEUR: HANNIBAL’S GAZE AND EKPHRASIS IN THE PUNICA OF SILIUS ITALICUS by SEAN MATHIS (Under the Direction of Mario Erasmo) ABSTRACT This is a thesis about Silius Italicus, a Latin poet, who wrote his epic poem, the Punica, during the reign of the emperor Domitian. Silius wrote his epic poem in the period after Vergil’s Aeneid, and, like his literary contemporaries, was forced to contend with his poetic forebears in order to insert his own poem into the Latin epic tradition. Thus, the poet looks back to Vergil, his principal poetic predecessor, through his use of allusion, metaphor, and other poetic imagery. The poem is also historical in nature, covering the period leading up to the Second Punic War, and Silius necessarily looks back to his historical predecessors, notably the Latin historian Livy. Silius creates, within the Punica, an interesting allusive technique that allows for a literary dialogue between the historical and epic genres, thus guaranteeing his position as a successor to both Vergil and Livy.

  • Revision and Reconstruction of the Battles of Cannae (216 Bce) and Zama (202 Bce)
    1 REVISION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE BATTLES OF CANNAE (216 BCE) AND ZAMA (202 BCE) Yozan D. Mosig and Imene Belhassen University of Nebraska at Kearney 2 Revision and Reconstruction in the Punic Wars: Cannae Revisited. Yozan D. Mosig and Imene Belhassen University of Nebraska-Kearney 2006 [Publication data: Mosig, Y., & Belhassen, I. (2006). Revision and reconstruction in the Punic Wars: Cannae revisited. The International Journal of the Humanities, 4(2), 103-110.] 3 Abstract The history of the wars between Carthage and Rome was rewritten by two pro-Roman historians, Polybius and Titus Livius. The former, while usually more reliable, revised facts that would have shown his employers, the Scipionic/Aemilian family, in an unfavorable light, while the latter, a clear Roman patriotic propagandist, embellished history to suit his purposes. Accounts of the wars by Carthaginian historians seem to have been lost or been conveniently destroyed. Nevertheless, gaps and contradictions in the Roman accounts, together with a modern understanding of human motivation and environmental circumstances, allow for the reconstruction of the original events. A case in point is the battle of Cannae, in 216 BCE, where a modern analysis reveals the real reasons for Hannibal’s victory, the true strengths of the armies of Romans and Carthaginians, the identity of the actual commander of the Roman forces, the correct casualty figures, and the likely reasons for Hannibal’s refusal to march on Rome following his great victory. 4 The battle of Cannae, between the multi-ethnic forces of the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca and the much larger Roman army under the command of consuls Lucius Aemilius Paulus and Gaius Terentius Varro, in 216 BCE, was without a doubt one of the most significant battles in history.

  • 1 1 Representing Zama to Create an Iconic Event Frances Billot
    1 Representing Zama to create an iconic event Frances Billot University of Auckland [email protected] The Hadrianic author Florus describes the battle at Zama1 in 202BC as the most important battle in Roman history; Scipio and Hannibal are considered two of the greatest generals of all time, one for conquering Italy, the other for Spain: non fuit maior sub imperio Romano dies quam ille, cum duo omnium et antea et postea ducum maximi duces, ille Italiae, hic Hispaniae victor, conlatis comminus signis direxere aciem (Florus, 1.22.58).2 In the time before the Roman empire there was no greater occasion than when the two generals, better than any before or since, the one the conqueror of Italy, the other of Spain, brought their armies together for pitched battle.3 To consider why Florus singles out Zama, Scipio and Hannibal from all the options available to him, this paper compares how three earlier authors who covered the story of the Second Punic War, Polybius, Livy, and Silius Italicus, present the battle at Zama in their texts (other authors, such as Appian and Cornelius Nepos, are drawn on where they help illustrate a point). All three authors treat the battle at Zama as the climactic event of, or grand finale to, the Second Punic 1 Cornelius Nepos (Hann. 6) gave the battle its familiar title, Zama; Silius Italicus uses the same name, Pun. 3.261. For Scipio and Zama, see Scullard (1970) 140-160; Goldsworthy, (2001) 286-309. 2 Florus Epitome of Roman History, Loeb edn. (Cambridge, Mass. 1995).

  • 171 the Continence of Scipio and Katherine Manners A. M. Trotter Abstract: This Work Considers and Connects the Jacobean-Caroli
    171 The Continence of Scipio and Katherine Manners A. M. Trotter Abstract: This work considers and connects the Jacobean-Caroline Era painting The Continence of Scipio, c.1620/1, Christ Church Gallery, Oxford, and the play ‘Hannibal and Scipio’ (1635) by Thomas Nabbes (1605-41). Recent art-historical study of the painting has questioned the identities of both artist and subject, and the dramatic source of the play remains unidentified. Here, the disciplines of art-history and literary studies are combined to suggest arts-patron Katherine Manners (c.1604-49) as the originator of both artefacts. _____________________________________________________________________________ Figure 1 The Continence of Scipio. Oil on canvas, 182.9 x 232.4cm, Christ Church Picture Gallery, Oxford. By permission of the Governing Body, Christ Church, Oxford 172 This work examines the viewpoint that paintings and plays are guided by the patron or person who conceives an artefact rather than the hand that produces them, through Katherine Manners (c.1604-49), the painting The Continence of Scipio, c.1620/1, oil on canvas, 182.9 x 232.4cm, Christ Church Picture Gallery (Fig.1) and the play 'Hannibal and Scipio' (1635) by Thomas Nabbes (1605-41). Previous studies of the painting have questioned the identities of both artist and subject, and the dramatic source of the play is unknown. A combined examination of these two artefacts and their wider historical context reveals Katherine Manners, Arts Patron, as the person most likely to have conceived both. Accordingly it is shown that whilst artworks require some form of artistic imagination, the imagination is not necessarily always that of a painter or playwright.
