About this episode
One of the greatest military commanders in history - it's no wonder Hannibal and Rome so frequently fought.
In the second episode of our Hannibal mini-series, Tristan is once again joined by Dr Louis Rawlings from Cardiff University to examine Hannibal's movements and clashes post-Trasimene.
