Summer 216 BC - in a strategic coup, the Carthaginian Hannibal crossed the Alps and decimated Roman troops in a series of battles. The name Cannae, where at least 50000 legionaries met their deaths, looms over Rome like a portent. Are the Romans threatened by another "dies ater", another black day? But when the last battle of the Punic Wars is fought, Carthage lies in ruins and Rome begins its rise to world empire.
