The True Story Of Hannibal uncovers the stories behind the captivating pursuits of the Carthaginian general who injected fear into Roman hearts with his masterful military tactics.

At age nine, Hannibal Barca pleaded with his father to take him on an important Carthaginian expedition to conquer Spain. Before he was allowed to embark, the boy vowed to his father an eternal hatred for Rome, his people's bitter rival. Twenty years later, following the deaths of his father and brother-in-law, Hannibal became Carthage's new military commander. In 218 B.C., he left New Carthage (now Cartagena, Spain) to wage war on The Eternal City with an army of more than 40,000 men.

Featuring interviews with archaeologists, historians, and military experts, History presents an in-depth look at the life and career of Hannibal, the brilliant military tactician who brought the mighty Roman Republic to the very brink of ruin.
