Description
Enter a world in which Rome fell to Carthage-then rose again. 215 B.C. The Third Punic War has left Rome defeated and in ruins. Under the leadership of the legendary Hannibal, the Carthaginian troops are prepared to slaughter their enemies. Instead, Hannibal gives his adversaries a choice: exile or extermination. But in doing so, he has made a grave miscalculation. 100 B.C. In exile for one hundred and fifteen years, the Romans are about to re-emerge-stronger and more powerful than ever-in show more an ultimate battle for supremacy. show lessTags
