Hannibal's Odyssey: The Environmental Background to the Alpine Invasion of Italia - Gorgias Studies in Classical and Late Antiquity
William Mahaney
Hannibal's invasion of Italia in 218 BC is depicted from the standpoint of environmental evidence elicited from ancient texts, and analyzed against present-day Earth Science databases. The conclusion is that the Punic Army followed the southern route over the Alps; a proposal first made by Sir Gavin de Beer in the 1960's.
