Hannibal Barca and the Second Punic War - 218 B.C.
I'm going to skip the Veritas Card for today because I want to include more world Historical events as they happened in accordance with the Veritas cards. There is a large gap in the time period between cards number 19 and 20, so today we will cover Hannibal Barca, who rode his troops on elephants through the Alps in order to attack Rome. He was very successful as far as a military leader. But eventually he did lose to Rome. He ended his life by drinking poison, around 183 B.C.
Hannibal lived sometime between Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar.
