Annibale. Un viaggio (9788807882876)

Quanto pesano le ceneri di Annibale? Si chiedevano i romani al termine della seconda guerra punica. Niente, era la risposta. Eppure lo spauracchio si trasformò in eroe, l'eroe in mito e il mito in leggenda. Ed è questa leggenda che invade il Mediterraneo fino a lambire le porte dell'Asia. Quella che ci viene incontro è la storia di un uomo, temuto e rispettato, e dei luoghi che lo hanno reso celebre.
