hannibal and his army crossing the alps

[145], During the Cimbric war, further conflicts embroiled the Republic: a Second Servile War waged in Sicily from 104 to 101;[123] a campaign was waged against pirates in Cilicia; Rome campaigned in Thrace, adding lands to the province of Macedonia; and Lycaonia was annexed to Rome. Clodius was a bitter opponent of Cicero because Cicero had testified against him in a sacrilege case. Each subsequent rank consisted of those with less wealth and poorer equipment than the one before it. Polybius's work is considered broadly objective and largely neutral as between Carthaginian and Roman points of view. [citation needed] They also invented a new device, the corvus, a grappling engine which enabled a crew to board on an enemy ship. [56] When he arrived there, to his surprise he learned from the Massaliots that instead of Hannibal still being in Catalonia, as he had anticipated,[59] Hannibal was about 4 days march[60] north of their city on the far side of the Rhne. The activities of the Gracchan land commission are archaeologically documented on recovered boundary stones listing the members of the commission. [citation needed], The Jugurthine War of 111104 was fought between Rome and the North African kingdom of Numidia (in current-day Algeria and Tunisia). Up until the Alps proper, he did not have to fend off any tribes. [218] This esteem and prestige was based on both precedent and custom, as well as the caliber and reputation of the senators. The term Punic comes from the Latin word Punicus (or Poenicus), meaning "Carthaginian", and is a reference to the Carthaginians' Phoenician ancestry. [note 3][21] Other sources include coins, inscriptions, archaeological evidence and empirical evidence from reconstructions such as the trireme Olympias. [120] Modern sources have proposed multiple causes of elite cohesion, including wealth inequality and a growing unwillingness by aristocrats to transgress political norms, especially in the aftermath of the Social War. Carthage furthermore had to give up all its elephants, all its fleet but ten triremes, all its possessions outside its core territory in Africa (what is now Tunisia), and could not declare war without Roman authorisation. [68] A large melee ensued, with many cavalry dismounting to fight on foot and many of the Roman javelinmen reinforcing the fighting line. The city of Narbo was founded there in 118 by Lucius Licinius Crassus. Some gentes claimed a divine descent, often thanks to a false etymology of their name; the Caecilii Metelli pretended to descend from Vulcan through his son Caeculus, the Mamilii from Circe through her granddaughter Mamilia, the Julii Caesares and the Aemilii from Venus through her grandsons Iulus and Aemylos. Ancient Rome Their central dietary role is reflected by their use as sacrificial victims in domestic cults, funerals, and cults to agricultural deities. Traditionally, when at war the Romans would raise two legions, each of 4,200 infantry[note 8] and 300 cavalry. [43] The Roman Senate detached one Roman and one allied legion from the force intended for Iberia to send to the region. This created problems for some consuls and praetors, and these magistrates would occasionally have their imperium extended. It was a precursor to habeas corpus. [182] Pompey remained in the East to pacify and settle Roman conquests in the region, also extending Roman control south to Judaea. "Urban religion in the middle and late republic". The Republic's most notable religious suppression was that of the Bacchanalia, a widespread, unofficial, enthusiastic cult to the Greek wine-god Bacchus. This was the scope of that particular office holder's authority. In fact, they were reinforced and the campaigns there maintained until victory was secured; beginning first in Sicily under the direction of Claudius Marcellus, and later in Hispania under Scipio Africanus. Please refer to the appropriate style manual or other sources if you have any questions. Later introductions include Summanus, c. 278, Vortumnus c. 264, and at some time before the end of the 3rd century, Minerva. The commercial interests of the Carthaginian oligarchy dictated the reinforcement and supply of Iberia rather than Hannibal throughout the campaign. [223] It also served as the highest court of appeal in certain judicial cases. As Lazenby states, It says volumes, too, for their political maturity and respect for constitutional forms that the complicated machinery of government continued to function even amidst disasterthere are few states in the ancient world in which a general who had lost a battle like Cannae would have dared to remain, let alone would have continued to be treated respectfully as head of state.

Remmel, P. Tricart "Reconnaissance of the Hannibalic Route in the Upper Po Valley, Italy: Correlation with Biostratigraphic Historical Archaeological Evidence in the Upper Guil Valley, France". [44], Meanwhile, Hannibal assembled a Carthaginian army in New Carthage (modern Cartagena) over the winter, marching north in May 218 BC he entered Gaul to the east of the Pyrenees, then took an inland route to avoid the Roman allies along the coast. [353] For most women, the carding, combing, spinning and weaving of wool were part of daily housekeeping, either for family use or for sale. Livy tells that Capitolinus sold his estate to repay the debt of many of them, and even went over to the plebs, the first patrician to do so. [35] In 226 BC the Ebro Treaty was agreed, specifying the Ebro River as the northern boundary of the Carthaginian sphere of influence. Working in relays, the army set about this labour-intensive task under the eyes of Hannibal, who was constantly encouraging them. [57], Hearing that Publius Scipio was operating in the region, he assumed the Roman army in Massalia which he had believed en route to Iberia had returned to Italy and reinforced the army already based in the north. [24][25] The Treaty of Lutatius was signed by which Carthage evacuated Sicily and paid an indemnity of 3,200 talents[note 4] over ten years. [304], Starting in the mid-Republican era, some leading Romans publicly displayed special, sometimes even intimate relationships with particular deities. Publius Valerius Laevinus, the consul sent to face him, rejected the king's negotiation offers, as he had more troops and hoped to cut the invasion short. Their role in accompanying the army was primarily to supply any vacancies that might occur in the maniples. This made his person sacrosanct, gave him the power to veto the senate, and allowed him to dominate the Plebeian Council. Patricians usually married in a form known as confarreatio, which transferred the bride from her father's absolute control or "hand" (manus) to that of her husband. [319], Some cults may have been exclusively female; for example, the rites of the Good Goddess (Bona Dea). [123], In this context, Tiberius Gracchus was elected plebeian tribune in 133 BC. [citation needed] Board games played in Rome included dice (Tesserae or Tali), Roman Chess (Latrunculi), Roman Checkers (Calculi), Tic-tac-toe (Terni Lapilli), and Ludus duodecim scriptorum and Tabula, predecessors of backgammon. Poor, landless citizens of the lowest class (proletarii) might contract their sons to a creditor, patron or third party employer to obtain an income, or to pay off family debts. Leaving his brother Hasdrubal in command of a considerable army for the defense of Spain and North Africa, he crossed the Ebro in April or May 218 and then marched into the Pyrenees. Sarikakis "History of the Greek Nation: Hellenistic Period" pp.68-70, Graigner "The Roman War of Antiochus the Great" pp.297-300, Sarikakis "History of the Greek Nation: Hellenistic Period" p.70, Sarikakis "History of the Greek Nation: Hellenistic Period" pp. Whereas Republican (and thereafter, Imperial) Romans marked the passage of years with the names of their ruling consuls, their calendars marked the anniversaries of religious foundations to particular deities, the days when official business was permitted (fas), and those when it was not (nefas). [282] At the end of the second Punic War, Rome added the fertile ager Campanus, suitable for intense cultivation of vines, olives and cereals. Publius Scipio,[14][53] one of the consuls for 218BC, received orders from the Senate to confront Hannibal in the theatre of the Ebro or the Pyrenees. Following Rome's disastrous defeat at Cannae, the State's most prominent written oracle recommended the living burial of human victims in the Forum Boarium to placate the gods. [107] It took the army three days to march from this place into "the plains which are near the Po" according to Polybius. Fearing the possibility of an assassination attempt by his Gallic allies, Hannibal had a number of wigs made, dyed to suit the appearance of persons differing widely in age, and kept constantly changing them, so that any would-be assassins wouldn't recognize him. In reality, however, it carried broad authority in the other public spheres such as diplomacy, and the justice system. It is believed that his refusal to bring the war to Rome itself was due to a lack of commitment from Carthage of men, money, and material principally siege equipment. They hired Spartan mercenaries, led by Xanthippus, to command their troops. The third, or left, column crossed the Ebro where it touches with the Sicoris River and proceeded along the river valley and into the mountain countries. [39], During the early republic, senators were chosen by the consuls from among their supporters. Updates? However, the flat land near Tunis favoured the Punic elephants, which crushed the Roman infantry on the Bagradas plain; only 2,000 soldiers escaped, and Regulus was captured. The oligarchy, not Hannibal, controlled the strategic resources of Carthage. As Scipio moved northward along the right bank of the Rhne, he learned that Hannibal had already crossed the river and was marching northward on the left bank. Numidian cavalry lured Sempronius out of his camp and onto ground of Hannibal's choosing. [69], Hannibal needed to reach the Alps quickly in order to beat the onset of winter. This page was last edited on 15 July 2022, at 21:13. Early Roman literature was influenced heavily by Greek authors. Beginning in the summer of 54, a wave of political corruption and violence swept Rome. [27] The delegation's leader, Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, demanded Carthage choose between war and peace, to which his audience replied that Rome could choose.

Tiberius submitted this law to the Plebeian Council, but the law was vetoed by a fellow tribune named Marcus Octavius. Some of the Romans, seeing a moving column of lights, were tricked into believing it was the Carthaginian army marching to escape along the heights. They eventually found him on the left bank of the Aufidus River, and encamped 10km (6mi) away. [369] The architectural style of the capital city was emulated by other urban centers under Roman control and influence. [79] At Rome, the Cornelii and the Aemilii considered the capture of Saguntum a casus belli,[80] and won the debate against Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, who wanted to negotiate. "[64][63], Seven years after the victory of Zama, the Romans, alarmed by Carthage's renewed prosperity and suspicious that Hannibal had been in contact with Antiochus III of the Seleucid Empire, sent a delegation to Carthage alleging that Hannibal was helping an enemy of Rome. [88] After this contest of arms, the baggage was held together in good order and the Carthaginian army followed the road down to the plain that begins roughly at modern Bourget. A street in Carthage, located near the Punic ports, bears his name; as does as a station on the TGM railway line: "Carthage Hannibal". They were replaced by plebeian aristocrats, of whom the most emblematic were the Caecilii Metelli, who received 18 consulships until the end of the Republic; the Domitii, Fulvii, Licinii, Marcii, or Sempronii were as successful. B., Ceccarelli, L., in Bell, S., and Carpino, A., A, (Editors). [220] The power of the senate expanded over time as the power of the legislative assemblies declined, and the senate took a greater role in ordinary law-making. The survivors of the 6,000 velites were regrouping to their rear. [30][31] Polybius considered this act of bad faith by the Romans to be the single greatest cause of war with Carthage breaking out again nineteen years later. Marius had the Numidian command reassigned to himself by plebiscite and, with the capture of Jugurtha at the end of a long campaign, ended the war; in the aftermath, the Romans largely withdrew from the province after installing a client king. He thereafter was replaced as co-consul by Publius Valerius Publicola. The son may have been named Haspar or Aspar,[22] although this is disputed. A more typical symbolism, linking the modern naval power of Britain with the ancient naval power of Carthage, can be detected in Turner's later works, Dido Building Carthage, and The Decline of the Carthaginian Empire. [135], Numidia had been a loyal ally of Rome since the Punic Wars. The large number of light infantry in each army entirely javelinmen for the Romans, a mixture of javelinmen and slingers from the Balearics for the Carthaginians skirmished between the main armies. [63][60] It was here that Hanno decided to cross, and ordered that boats and rafts should be constructed from materials that were at hand. [108] With her Greek allies facing a major new threat, Rome declared war on Macedonia again, starting the Third Macedonian War. In part III of Jonathan Swift's 1726 prose satire, Gulliver's Travels, the eponymous main protagonist, Gulliver, visits "Glubbdubdrib", a fictional island populated by sorcerers. Fabius himself was within striking distance but in this case his caution worked against him, as rightly sensing a trick he stayed put. [372] Other activities included chariot races, and musical and theatrical performances. [152], Further civil conflict emerged, starting in 88. Every individual, occupation and location had a protective tutelary deity, or sometimes several. Philip sent ambassadors to Hannibal's camp in Italy, to negotiate an alliance as common enemies of Rome. Starting in the spring of 218BC, he crossed the Pyrenees and reached the Rhne by conciliating the Gaulish chiefs along his passage before the Romans could take any measures to bar his advance, arriving at the Rhne in September. [26], Hannibal sent the booty from Saguntum to Carthage, a shrewd move which gained him much support from the government; Livy records that only Hanno II the Great spoke against him. At the Pyrenees, he released 11,000 Iberian troops who showed reluctance to leave their homeland. [83], In his Annales, Titus Pomponius Atticus reports that Hannibal's death occurred in 183BC,[88] and Livy implies the same. [46][failed verification], These events were a political victory of the wealthy plebeian elite who exploited the economic difficulties of the plebs for their own gain, hence why Stolo, Lateranus, and Genucius bound their bills attacking patricians' political supremacy with debt-relief measures. [249], Citizen families were headed by the family's oldest male, the pater familias, who was lawfully entitled to exercise complete authority (patria potestas) over family property and all family members. Increasing numbers of Carthaginian cavalry broke off their pursuit, returned and attacked the Roman rear. [64][65] The Carthaginian detachment chopped down trees, lashing the logs together with reliable ropes they had brought with them from the army's stores. According to Polybius, it was a fertile densely populated triangle bounded by hills, by the Rhne, and by a river that is probably the Isre. Whatever the reason, the choice prompted Maharbal to say, "Hannibal, you know how to gain a victory, but not how to use one."[55]. Hannibal had now disposed of the only field force that could check his advance upon Rome, but he realized that, without siege engines, he could not hope to take the capital. In this context, the last decades of the Republic were marked by the rise of great generals, who exploited their military conquests and the factional situation in Rome to gain control of the political system. I", Drummond, A (1989a). [28] Hasdrubal was assassinated around the same time (221BC), bringing Hannibal to the fore. His attack on Apollonia started the First Macedonian War. Therefore, the Romans pre-emptively invaded the Po region in 225BC. The first such secession occurred in 494 BC, in protest at the abusive treatment of plebeian debtors by the wealthy during a famine. Here, Hannibal forced the Romans to evacuate the plain of Lombardy, by virtue of his superior cavalry. [120] Livy retails dramatic accounts of winter confrontations, but Adrian Goldsworthy describes these as "probably an invention". The oldest calendars were lunar, structured around the most significant periods in the agricultural cycle, and the religious duties required to yield a good harvest. However, Jugurtha eventually renewed his offensive, leading to a long and inconclusive war with Rome. Marcellus learned that should he make any sortie from the town or draw up for battle outside, they planned on plundering the baggage and closing the gates upon him. In 242, 200 quinqueremes under consul Gaius Lutatius Catulus blockaded Drepana. [53] Once the Roman Senate resumed their consular elections in 216BC, they appointed Gaius Terentius Varro and Lucius Aemilius Paullus as consuls. [27] Four years later Rome seized Sardinia and Corsica on a cynical pretence and imposed a further 1,200 talent indemnity. It was traditionally associated with Romulus' unfortunate twin, Remus, and in later history with the Latins, and the Roman plebs. "The Traversette rockfall: geomorphological reconstruction and importance in interpreting classical history." Since his absence from Rome would limit his ability to install his own consuls, he passed a law that allowed him to appoint all magistrates, and later all consuls and tribunes. This, he wrote, made Hannibal believe that he would die in Libya, but instead, it was at the Bithynian Libyssa that he would die. Scipio landed in Africa in 204. Examples of devotio, as performed by the Decii Mures, in which soldiers offered and gave their lives to the Di inferi (gods of the underworld) in exchange for Roman victory were celebrated as the highest good. Hannibal The fired rockfall event is mentioned only by Livy; Polybius is mute on the subject and there is no evidence[44] of carbonized rock at the only two-tier rockfall in the Western Alps, located below the Col de la Traversette (Mahaney, 2008). In 262, the Romans moved to the southern coast and besieged Akragas. [119] In Polybius's account there were only minor operations during the winter and most of the surviving Romans were evacuated down the Po and assigned to one of the two new armies being formed,[117] while the flow of Gallic support for the Carthaginians became a flood and their army grew to 60,000. [21] For the poorest, one of the few effective political tools was their withdrawal of labour and services, in a "secessio plebis"; they would leave the city en masse, and allow their social superiors to fend for themselves. The Roman scholar Livy gives a depiction of the young Carthaginian: "No sooner had he arrivedthe old soldiers fancied they saw Hamilcar in his youth given back to them; the same bright look; the same fire in his eye, the same trick of countenance and features. The Romans appointed Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus as their dictator. He had several sisters whose names are unknown, and two brothers, Hasdrubal and Mago. Publius Claudius Pulcher, the consul of 249, recklessly tried to take the latter from the sea, but he suffered a terrible defeat; his colleague Lucius Junius Pullus likewise lost his fleet off Lilybaeum. They could also buy their freedom with money saved or the offer of future services as a freedman or woman, and their sons could be eligible for citizenship; this degree of social mobility was unusual in the ancient world. Clodius set about depriving Caesar's senatorial enemies of two of their more obstinate leaders in Cato and Cicero.
