The year was 218 BCE and the world was a different place. The great empires of Rome and Carthage struggled to control the riches and lands of the Western Mediterranean. These nations would stop at nothing as they conquered lands and subjugated millions of people in their ruthless quest for absolute power.

In November of that fateful year, the Carthaginians and the Romans met on the field of battle at Ticinus. The legendary Hannibal led his Carthaginians into battle and into the pages of history. On that day, Rome would discover that they now faced one the world greatest generals on their land in a fight that would ultimately decide the fate of nations. It would be the beginning of one Empire’s ascent to power and the beginning of the end for the other. These two great nations would struggle to the death, and in the end one would only be remembered in myth and whispers.

A very easy read. Though, I guess I didn't know enough of all these historical people to appreciate the book as much as one could have.

That sounds good. Lately I've been reading books on Thrace.
