Polybius says, that "Hannibal endeavoured to "encourage his soldiers, having one resource for "this, the sight of Italy." Now that object was easily attainable from the passage in question, as the valley of La Tuille is at the foot of it, and would be perfectly visible from the pass itself by the whole army. But when Polybius goes on to say, that Hannibal pointed out the plains of the Po, and explained the situation of Rome itself, we must enlarge the expression so far as to suppose that he called the stream which falls into the Po by the name of that river, which he might as well do, as attempt to point out the situation of Rome itself, with which it seems quite impossible that he could be acquainted, and which, if correctly pointed out, would not have been very encouraging, as the passage is closed up by very high mountains to the S. E., and this is equally the case with the Mont Genevre; which, like the Little St. Bernard, takes a N. E. direction from Savoy to Piedmont. After all, the difficult expressions are nearly superfluous; for, the mere fact of the descent of the waters on the side of the passage opposite to that by which the army had ascended, would sufficiently shew that the great difficulties were overcome, and there was time enough, during the two days' halt on the summit, to explain the fact of their having reached the highest point of their road. But if, after all, these expressions are to be considered as inexplicable, and they certainly are difficult, we must be content with repeating that they are equally so with respect to the other passages mentioned by Polybius, as quoted by Strabo, and they must remain to exercise the ingenuity of future commentators. The account of the descent will form the subject of the next...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hannibal's March Through the Alps Before he acquired the friendship of the Scipio who afterwards became famous as the conqueror of Carthage in the third Punic War. Polybius had received the education of a statesman and a soldier, and his intimacy with Scipio led to his accompany ing that general in the campaigns against Carthage and against Numantia, in which it is believed that he rendered some service as an engineer. He wrote his history for the purpose Of explaining to his Greek countrymen how Rome had come to be the mistress Of the world. In pursuit of the information which he required he travelled widely, and in particular made the journey across the Alps in order to follow and to see for himself the route that had been taken by Hannibal. He says that he had had the opportunity of inquiring about the events of the march from men who had taken part in it. His residence in Rome began half a century after the march, and he was then between thirty-one and forty-one years old. He may very well have had the opportunity of dis cussing the events oi 218 with Carthaginians who had accompanied Hannibal, with Greek officers who had been on his staff, and with Romans who had taken part in the operations against him. As he wrote he had before him the accounts of earlier authors, some of whom were Roman, and one probably a Greek. In point of time he stood to the events of 218 as a man who was born in 1871 would stand to the Crimean War.

Download or read book Hannibal Crosses The Alps written by John Prevas and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he left his Spanish base one spring day in 218 B.C. with his 100,000-man army of mercenaries, officers, and elephants, Hannibal was launching not just the main offensive of the Second Punic War but also one of the great military journeys in ancient history. His masterful advance through rough terrain and fierce Celtic tribes proved his worth as a leader, but it was his extraordinary passage through the Alps—still considered treacherous even by modern climbers—that made him a legend. John Prevas combines rigorous research of ancient sources with his own excursions through the icy peaks to bring to life this awesome trek, solving the centuries-old question of Hannibal's exact route and shedding fresh light on the cultures of Rome and Carthage along the way. Here is the finest kind of history, sure to appeal to readers of Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire: alive with grand strategy, the clash of empires, fabulous courage, and the towering figure of Hannibal Barca.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Alps of Hannibal, Vol. 1 of 2 I left aix on the 17th September with renewed impulse to a favourite theme, preposing for my daughter and myseif a week's absence from my family, that we might cross the Little St. Bernard and return 'by the 001 de la Seigne and the valley of Beaufort. The result was calamitous: I made my first and last descent into Italy in a state of serious illness: for nine weeks I lay within gunshot of the great preelplce, without a hope of contemplating it. To avoid being snowed up for the winter at Courmayeur, I was at last moved slowly down the valley to seek a more favouring climate. So began and so ended the chance of contributing by personal investigation to a know ledge of the disputed track.
