The extraordinary saga of Hannibal and his invasion of Italy in 218 B.C. is the main topic of this third volume of Livy's magnificent history. As only Livy can express it, were swept into the era of the Second Punic War and given a ringside view of the command of both sides. The stirring accounts of Hannibal crossing the Alps, the brutal information of Cannae, and the relentless Roman siege of Syracuse are some of the highlights of this remarkable story. Never gets the undaunted courage of the Roman soldier been more completely accounted for, and never has the terminology of history been more dramatically set down as it includes in the searing web pages of Titus Livy. The Hannibalic War lives on in this mighty epic of historic literary history. Livy's The Background of Rome proceeds in an additional three volumes.
