Sinossi
Hannibal’s enduring reputation as a man and as a general is due to his enemies’ fascination with him. The way his legend was shaped in the Greek and Roman consciousness is one of the book’s main themes. Under Hannibal’s leadership, Carthage came close to dominating the western Mediterranean; his total victory would have changed the course of history. That he was a brilliant general is unquestioned, and his strategy and tactics have been studied as real-life lessons in war even into the modern era (Norman Schwartzkopf is a fan). His political career is less appreciated and his achievements as civilian leader of Carthage in 196-5 BC have been virtually overlooked. The issue of whether he might indeed have changed history had he postponed conflict with Rome and concentrated first on Carthage’s own prosperity and safety is explored in this volume as vigorously as the military questions.

Paperback. Condizione: Gut. XIX, 163 p.: Ill., Maps. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben, Kopfschnitt leicht angeschmutzt, sonst sehr guter Zustand / slightly rubbed, top edge slightly soiled, otherwise very good condition. - This is a probing and objective portrayal of the public and private lives of the most famous Carthaginian in history. Under Hannibal's leadership, Carthage came close to dominating the western Mediterranean. That he was a brilliant general is unquestioned and his strategy and tactics have been studied as real- life lessons in war, even into the modern era, but on at least three occasions a different strategic choice might have brought him that elusive overall victory. In this engaging study, Dexter Hoyos considers Hannibal's enduring reputation and how it has in large part been shaped by the fascination of his enemies - in particular, the Romans. He goes on to ask whether, had Hannibal postponed war with Rome and concentrated first on Carthage's own safety, he might have changed the course of history. / CONTENTS Illustrations Preface Hannibal's chronology Maps Italy and Sicily in Hannibal's time The Western Mediterranean in Hannibal's time Southern Italy 216-203 BC The Eastern Mediterranean around 200 BC 1 Introduction: the challenge of Hannibal 2 Family and city 3 Barcids supreme (241-221) 4 Leadership and war (221-216) 5 Hannibal, Carthage and the Mediterranean (216-209) 6 Decline and defeat (209-202) 7 Hannibal in politics (201-195) 8 Hannibal in exile (195-183) 9 Hannibal: memory and myth Bibliography Notes Index.
