The outcome of the Second Punic War forever changed the Ancient World, and therefore the path of development of our civilization. This conflict is interesting because for the first time, hostilities took place simultaneously on several fronts, over a vast territory - in Italy, Spain and Sicily. The two best commanders of the era met on the battlefield - the Carthaginian Hannibal and the Roman Scipio Africanus. But many books have been written about them. This work presents military biographies of other generals of the Second Punic War: the controversial military leader Gaius Flaminius, whose image was largely denigrated by Roman historians, Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who eliminated the front in Sicily by taking Syracuse, and Hasdrubal, who undeservedly found himself in the shadow of his older brother, Hannibal.< /p>
