I've been reading Hannibal by Dodge. He describes the Carthaginian army, and I think does a good job of it. However, is there a modern source that more fully describes this subject? Perhaps a book that describes the formation and equipment of the Carthaginian army? I am assuming that such a book would focus on the era of Hannibal. My understanding is that the Carthaginian army had a Hellenic basis, i.e. the phalanx, but is this actually true?
