<p>“My cavils in the previous paragraph notwithstanding, Hoyos and his team are to be complimented for their success in bringing the multifaceted “action history” of the wars to life in a striking and sophisticated way.”<br /><i>Bryn Mawr Classical Review</i></p> <p>Widely considered the greatest conflicts of antiquity, the Punic Wars irrevocably changed the course of world history. <i>A Companion to the Punic Wars</i> provides a comprehensive new survey of the three wars fought by Rome and Carthage between 264 and 146 BC. Featuring a series of thought-provoking essays from a community of distinguished international scholars, the collection provides a unique portrayal of the<br />bloody “hundred years’ war” that created a legend out of Hannibal and left Rome with<br />a world empire.<br /><br />The three wars are covered comprehensively from the Roman and Carthaginian military and naval strategies to diplomacy, economic and social factors, historiography, and the achievements of the charismatic Carthaginian general Hannibal. A Companion to the Punic Wars offers invaluable new insights to students and scholars alike into an epic struggle that had far reaching impacts on the Western world.</p>
