It was one of the most harrowing and incredible times in recorded history. The Roman Republic's desire for absolute power made it a lightning rod for those seeking to cause its downfall. IThe Lion of Africa: Hannibal of Carthage follows the Carthaginian's battles with the Roman army and his quest to topple the republic he despises. Hannibal Barca leads an army on a surprise attack of Italy. With 100,000 men and beast, including 37 war elephants, following his path, Hannibal crosses the Alps in the height of winter to tackle the Romans. And tackle he does. After merging with the tribes of Gaul, his forces slaughter 100,000 Romans within the first two years of engagement. His genius as a war strategist becomes evident as he defeats the Romans again at Trebia and on the shores of Lake Trasimene. His infamous win at Cannae leaves 60,000 Romans slain on a single afternoon. Told by an elderly storyteller, the tale follows Hannibal's brutal war with Rome and his experience in the field, including those of his brothers Mago, Hasdrubal and Hanno, and those of his Roman adversary the young Captain Scipio.
