Synopsis
Hannibal: Enemy of Rome by Ben Kane
In the First Punic War, the Roman legions defeated and humiliated
Carthage, their only serious rival for power in the Mediterranean. Now a
brilliant young Carthaginian general, called Hannibal, is out for
revenge and nothing will stand in his way. Caught up in the maelstrom
are two young boys, Hanno, the son of a
distinguished soldier and confidant of Hannibal, and Quintus, son of a
Roman equestrian and landowner. A disastrous adventure will see Hanno
sold into slavery and bought by Quintus' father. Although an unexpected
friendship springs up between the two boys - and with Quintus' sister,
Aurelia - the fortunes of the two warring empires once again separates
them.
