Hannibal vs Rome: The Whole War, Mapped

Hannibal marched war elephants over the Alps, beat Rome again and again for fifteen years - and still lost the war. His whole life, mapped: the oath at nine, the Rhone rafts, the Alps, Trebia, Lake Trasimene, the burning oxen, Cannae, Zama, and a strange exile that ended with pots full of snakes and poison in a ring.
