I liked this piece and and it paints a nice picture of some of the main events and characters of the Punic Wars. The issue of supply lines I think is the key to understanding Hannibal’s defeat, and raised well here with regard to Hispania. Perhaps some analysis of the naval situation during the period discussed would add to the picture?
Trumpets extol Scipio, yet not a whistle for Fabius.
