Introduction

Even 2,000 years after his death, General Hannibal’s battle strategies are still studied today.

Also known as Hannibal – A March on Rome.

Outline

But, of all his military feats, perhaps his greatest was leading his massive Carthaginian army of men and three-dozen elephants across the Alps and into the heartland of Rome in 218 B.C.

Until now, the route they took has been a matter of dispute, but thanks to modern-day technology, geomorphologist Bill Mahaney and microbiologist Chris Allen believe they’ve accurately traced this ancient journey.
