In part 20 we continue where we left off after the 2nd Battle of Nola, with Hannibal wintering in Apulia in late 215 BC, and we go up to the Battle of Tarentum in the spring of 212 BC. I won’t give any other spoilers!

For the algorithm
Gracchus having the slaves fight for their freedom against Hanno was genius. Such a tried and true tactic, Washington and the northern colonies would use it again thousands of years later to defeat the south in the American civil war, by having African American slaves fight against their former masters in the south. One of my ancestors was one of those very slaves. There’s nothing men will fight harder for than freedom and family.
Thanks!
HE'S BACK! HE'S BACK!

Wow. I thought I'd never see the continuation
Hannibal was master of mind games.
In past lives I was a General in the Ancient Armies and a soldier in the Great War ……..i know because war makes me feel at home even though i despise it. When i watfh ww1 film i film very at home………its strange but true…….our souls are recycled ♻️
