A proposito di questo titolo
 While we often focus on Hannibal Barca’s military genius and his infamous crossing of the Alps, this episode shifts the lens to the political fractures within Rome itself. We explore the story of Marcus Centenius Penulus, a Roman magistrate whose disastrous ambush at the Trebia River was not just a tactical failure but a symptom of deep internal discord. More importantly, we examine the crucial role of Scipio Africanus’s younger brother, Gnaeus Scipio, who held Hispania together when Hannibal was in Italy. But the true focus is on the complex web of alliances that kept Carthage from total victory, including the defection of key Gallic tribes and the surprising resilience of Roman diplomatic strategy. Through the eyes of Polybius and Livy, we see how Rome survived not just through superior tactics, but through its ability to absorb defeat and maintain coalition loyalty even when faced with an enemy who had shattered their armies. This is the story of the shadows behind the battles, where treason, trust, and survival intertwined. #HannibalBarca #SecondPunicWar #MarcusCenteniusPenulus #TrebiaRiver #ScipioAfricanus #GnaeusScipio #Polybius #Livy #AbUrbeCondita #RomanRepublic #Carthage #QartHadasht #GallicAllies #NumidianCavalry #LoxodontaAfricana #BaalHammon #CouncilOfOneHundredAndFour #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
