This episode begins the series on the Second Punic War. After a re-cap of the interim period between the First and Second Punic Wars, I discuss the beginning of one of the Ancient World’s most famous generals, Hannibal. Following Hannibal’s rise to power in the 3rd Century BC, the Carthaginian general executed one of the things that has made him one of the most famous generals of all time, his crossing of the Alps into Italy. Within this narrative is a discussion of how our friends, the Celts, are involved in this conflict. Listen now if you want to learn more!
