A proposito di questo titolo
 We leave the icy peaks of the Alps and the political intrigues of Carthage behind to examine the crucial diplomatic war Hannibal waged in Italy. While his tactical genius is legendary, his ability to fracture Roman alliances was equally devastating. We focus on the city of Tarentum, where Hannibal’s envoy Philomnestus successfully turned a staunch Roman ally into a Carthaginian stronghold. This episode explores the complex motivations of Capua and other Italian cities that saw an alliance with Hannibal not as treason, but as liberation from Roman hegemony. We also look at the internal Roman politics during this period, including the controversial figure of Marcus Centenius Penulus, whose defeat at the Trebia River set the stage for these defections. By understanding the local grievances against Rome, we see why Hannibal’s promise of autonomy resonated so deeply across the peninsula. #HannibalBarca #SecondPunicWar #Tarentum #Philomnestus #Capua #Carthage #Rome #ItalianAllies #Polybius #Livy #AbUrbeCondita #RomanRepublic #Mercenaries #NumidianCavalry #QartHadasht #BaalHammon #Sufete #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
