Ulisse - The Pleasure of Discovery

Season 15 Episode 15: Hannibal, the Man Who Challenged Rome

Alberto Angela will accompany us on a journey through time spanning over two thousand years, during which we will discover Carthage, the queen of the Mediterranean, with its large fleet, and Republican Rome, at the time still a young power on the rise which, thanks to the strength of its legions, it had recently managed to impose its hegemony over a large part of the Italian peninsula. Through graphic reconstructions and re-enactments, Alberto Angela will make us relive the most dramatic moments of the centuries-old war from the inside, taking us to some of the most representative places of this crucial conflict: from the shores of Lake Trasimeno, where Hannibal's army defeated the Roman legions led by the consul Flaminius, to the Sepulcher of the Scipioni, on the Via Appia Antica, one of the most evocative testimonies of the Rome of the Scipioni. But our journey will above all be an opportunity to retrace the life and deeds of Hannibal, one of the greatest leaders of antiquity.
