Hamilcar Barca | Father of Hannibal and Enemy of Rome | Carthaginian History

Jun 18, 2023

I guess this can be counted as the spiritual successor to the fifth episode of my First Punic War series.

*Addendum* - At one point in the video, I say that Hamilcar's and Hannibal's last name was Barca: this is incorrect. 'Barca' was an epithet, meaning 'the lighting bolt'; it was not a family name. They are only referred to collectively as the Barcids due to historiographical convention.
