Description
In the second century BC, two of the greatest empires of the ancient world are locked in a furious struggle. The Punic wars between Rome and Carthage will see some of the most bloody and terrifying battles of all time, in which hundreds of thousands of men will die. And amid this carnage, an almost mythical figure will emerge: Hannibal. In this breathtaking chronicle of love and hate, heroism and cruelty, one of humanity's greatest adventurers is brought to life, who learns through suffering that man is but a shadow of a dream.
