In The War with Hannibal, Livy 59 BC AD 17 chronicles the
events of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage, until the
Battle of Zama in 202 BC. He vividly recreates the immense armies
of Hannibal, complete with elephants, crossing the Alps; the panic
as they approached the gates of Rome; and the decimation of the
Roman army at the Battle of Lake Trasimene. Yet it is also the
clash of personalities that fascinates Livy, from great debates in
the Senate to the historic meeting between Scipio and Hannibal
before the decisive battle. Livy never hesitates to introduce both
intense drama and moral lessons into his work, and here he brings a
turbulent episode in history powerfully to life.
