Hannibal: The Invasion of Italy (Part 3)
Tom and Dominic discuss Hannibal鈥檚 extraordinary journey over the Alps, and the early stages of his epic war against Rome.
How did Hannibal achieve the remarkable feat of crossing the Alps with his army and elephants? How many of his men survived the treacherous journey? Was it worth sacrificing so much of his army in order to fight the Romans in Italy? And, what unfolded during the first great clash between Hannibal and the Roman Republic, at dawn by the Trebbia River, in 218 BC鈥�?
