I'm not entirely sure that this thread ought to be here instead of OT, but we'll leave it for a bit and see where it goes. I think what he's suggesting Sander is that Hannibal was Roman to start with rather than him being a defector to Rome. In which case he would have not made much difference, as you suggest. The 2nd Punic War was an inevitability, despite people trying to suggest it was some sort of Barcid revenge thing. Hannibal would simply have been another talented general for the Romans to use. <p>It's not a bug, it's a feature</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub45.ezboard.com/ucatiline.showPublicProfile?language=EN>Catiline</A> at: 2/18/01 5:18:43 pm<br></i>
