The Second Punic War Lesson 23 part 2

In 238 B.C. the Carthaginian general, Hamilcar Barca, left for Spain to raise a new army to fight another war against Rome.

He was angry and humiliated that Carthage had lost the last war with Rome.

Before he left, with his son, Hannibal, by his side, he made human sacrifices to the god Moloch, so that it would give him good fortune.

The historian Livy describes the event: "Hannibal, then about 9 years old, was teasing his father to take him to Spain too. His father, still angry, led Hannibal to the altar and made him swear to be the enemy of Rome as soon as he grew up."

Hamilcar Barca took his son Hannibal to Spain with him and taught him to be a soldier. Twenty years later, Hannibal honored his promise to his father. He became a brilliant general and became one of Rome's greatest enemies!

Although beaten by the Romans, Carthage was still an important power. General Hamilcar took an army and began to rebuild Carthage's empire in Spain, where there were many trading posts. But In 229 B.C. Hamilcar was killed in battle.

The army elected Hamilcar's son, Hannibal, to be the new commander. Hannibal was only 26 years old, but it was time for him to fulfill the oath he had made as a child.

Rome declared war, again, on Carthage. This one was called the Second Punic War, and it would last 18 years!

Rome was nervous as Hannibal began to conquer Spain. And in 219 B.C., Hannibal attacked and conquered the city of Saguntum, one of Rome's allies in Spain.

The Romans sent soldiers to Spain, but Hannibal wasn't there. He was heading for Italy, through the Pyrenees and the Alps mountains!

Hannibal had gathered an army of about 70,000 soldiers, 12,000 horses, and 37 elephants. They marched across the Pyrenees Mountains in Spain and through southern Gaul (modern France),

He crossed the Rhone River (the elephants on rafts),

and reached the Alps five months later, in winter.

Only one half of the army was left, and they still had to cross the rocky, wind-whipped Alps to reach Italy.

Finally, Hannibal and his army entered Italy and began fighting the Romans. Although all of Hannibal's elephants died except one, Hannibal continually defeated the Romans in battle after battle.

the historian Polybius:"After nine days' climb Hannibal's army reached the snow- covered summit of the pass over the Alps--all the time being attacked by mountain tribes. However, when the enemy attacked the army, the elephants were of great use to the Carthaginians. The enemy was so terrified of the animals' strange appearance that they dared not come anywhere near them."

One such battle was the Battle of Cannae. Hannibal surrounded the Romans and destroyed their entire army, killing 70,000 Romans and selling the rest as slaves.

But Rome's people had determination, and that helped them to continue fighting until a general came who could defeat Hannibal. That was the Roman general Scipio Africanus.

First, Scipio made a secret agreement with one of Carthage's allies in North Africa, Numidia ( the country now known as Algeria). Then, while Hannibal was still in Italy, Scipio attacked Carthage.

Since most of its army was in Italy, Carthage was in trouble. But just as it was ready to surrender to the Romans, Hannibal returned from Italy.

Hannibal, here greeted by his family, was called back to defend Carthage when the Romans invaded the Carthaginians’ home territory.

Scipio fought Hannibal at the Battle of Zama, a town near Carthage. With the help of the Numidians and using Hannibal's own methods, Scipio won. Scipio was given the name "Africanus" in honor of his victory over Hannibal in northern Africa.

Hannibal survived the Battle of Zama but had to run away. Finally in 183 B.C. Romans found him in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey) and forced him to surrender. As they guarded him, he secretly took poison and ended his life.

The results of the Second Punic War were that Carthage's empire was over. Carthage was forced to give up its territories and its ships, and to pay Rome huge amounts of money.
