Klappentext
"My cavils in the previous paragraph notwithstanding, Hoyos and his team are to be complimented for their success in bringing the multifaceted "action history" of the wars to life in a striking and sophisticated way."
Bryn Mawr Classical Review Widely considered the greatest conflicts of antiquity, the Punic Wars irrevocably changed the course of world history.
