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.
