Stanford Lectures - Hannibal Barca and Carthage
Want something awesome to listen to?
Check out this lecture series on Hannibal Barca from the Stanford History Department.
Very informative, with a ton of contextual information on Carthage and Rome in the period of the First Punic War, all the way through to Hannibal Barca’s death. Also provides a lot of information on his father and childhood, and talks a lot about Carthaginian/Phoenician religious life (lots of info on Ba’al and his similarities with Jupiter).
Check it out! As a sweet bonus, the lecturing professor sounds like a dorkier version of Lewis Black.
