Hannibal's Dynasty: Power and Politics in the Western Mediterranean, 247-183 BC

By Dexter Hoyos

Book Overview

Accessible and enlightening, Hannibal's Dynasty provides the full story of Carthage's achievement, going beyond the usual focus on Hannibal and military matters alone to look at a wide range of political and diplomatic issues too.
