All language subtitles for Hannibal.2006.720p.BluRay.x264.AAC-[YTS.MX]

300 years before the birth of Christ

The old Empire ruled Cartago
the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea

Cartago was challenged until
and in a war

by Rome was brutally defeated.

This film is based on true facts.

Facts which took place in the
3rd century BC

written by historichi of the time

and checked by contemporary scholars.

Put your hands in the blood.

I swear...

..for as long as I live...

..I am an enemy of Rome will be.

It was only a matter of time before the rivalry

between Cartago and Rome again would lead to war.

A war, which would seal the child's destiny
as one of the greatest leaders in history

Hannibal.

I was born for revenge,
educated to achieve the impossible.

I will forever be remembered
as the greatest enemy of Rome.

This is the story of a General that his army to
pushed the limits of human endurance.

Continue!

The story of a man so brilliant that
Rome he nearly helped the destruction.

Above is the story --

- How history can change
by a single decision.

A decision that would seal fate Hannibal -

- And decide on whom to Europe
would govern the next 600 years.

War is the only thing I have ever known.

War between Rome and Cartago.

My father fought Rome 40 years earlier
and we were defeated.

Humiliated, deprived of honor
and our land.

But under my father's command, we again risen

extended our territory from
North Africa to Spain.

But it could never be two rulers
the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

Gaius Terentius Varro
Rooms delegate in Spain

Either Rome or Cartago tenonder should go --

- And I swore on my father's memory, --

- It would NOT Cartago.

Hannibal.

Gaius Terentius Varro.
Special Ambassador of the Roman Senate.

My brothers,
Mago and Hasdrubal.

I think you know why I'm here.

It came to our attention that you military threats
Saguntumm expressed against the city. Yes.

Sagunto is an ally of Rome,
She has our full protection

Sagunto is a town in Spain,
NOT in Italy.

And yet they remain allies Spanish
attacks of Cartago.

Tell me, Gaius Terentius Varro:

If this was a city in Room Eins
territory, what would you do?

I trust that you know the rules.

Verklaa war on Suguntum,
and you declare war on Rome.

Suguntum, SZuid Spain.
219 BC.

For Cartago!

My Suguntum attack was brutal,
provceren to Rome and to attack me.

It worked.

The elders council, Cartago, Norway Aafrika.
In the autumn of 219 BC.

Rome will this unprovoked attack --

- Not to tolerate any of our allies.

We require that you charge the General, --

- Hannibal, to extradite the
Roman authorities

- And his trial.

In whose name do you threaten us here in Cartago?

Suguntum was punished for
attacks our allies.

This will end badly. The Launch,
He wants a war.

Hanno the Great.
Hannibal's political opponents.

Here in the folds of my gown --

- Hang peace or war.

What you choose Cartago?

Peace or war?

Just say, Fabius.
Let Rome decide.

WAR!

In stabbing and burning to the ground.

The war which I was born had begun.

It would be a battle for our
world to survive.

New Cartago, Spain.
218 BC.

In Spain claimed his army Hannibal
together to fight his war.

Recruited from Spain and Africa, it was an army
of all kinds but one created by a common goal --

- To restore the honor and power in Cartago.

8000 horsemen, 40,000 foot soldiers,
garlands and lance liers.

- I want the men at all times ready to go.
- They are ready, my brother.

Mago, Hannibal's brother jonste.
Captain of the infantry.

- Your Maherbal Numidian horsemen.
- How fast are they?

- Ask me not to the mouth.
- They are faster than the Romans.

Maharbal. Captain of the riders
and military adviser.

- Elephants? - 37.
Their toesand? - All healthy animals.

Make these kids are gone.
We go to war.

Rome two armies. One from Sicily,
Cartago where they hope to attack.

The other from southern France
where they will attack us here in Spain.

Only, we will not be here.

We always wanted the war to bring the Romans.
Fight them on their own territory.

Now is the day.

Pe ship can not attack because
skim the rule the seas.

Instead, we will attack the country,
We draw our military by Spain and France, --

- On the Rhone and then east to Italy.

We know that the coastal roads are monitored closely --

- Zodus we go over the Alps.

- 50,000 soldiers over the mountains?
- It is the shortest path.

Even in their wildest dreams, the Romans
not think we are so bold.

Gisco just come back from the Alps.
He thinks that it must succeed.

And as we all know, he is the
most conservative of all.

Alexander conquered the world with 50,000.

Not bad for a Greek.
But we can improve.

Go and bring your troops informed.

They shall not want.

- That they should not.
- I see it sit.

Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother.
Captain of the Spanish provinces.

Unfortunately for you my brother
I can not take everybody.

I need someone to stay here for
to defend our territory.

- Then stay and defend it.
- You know what I mean.

Father fought for 8 years to Cartago and Spain.
And you leave everything behind for such risk.

- Big wins are so made.
- The big defeat.

We must show that we are not Rome
more with us around.

And I will make every effort to honor and
respect to repair of Cartago.

but I can only do so if I know
Spain in good hands.

Brother...

I promise you, that within the year
the banks of the Tiber are --

- Triumph in Rome.

50,000 lives are in your hands.

Who will take the lead in my place? You?

Me they would not follow.
But they do follow you, brother.

They follow you until death.

I asked my people nothing less than total sacrifice.

their most precious achetrlatend, --

- Knowing that they would perhaps never come back.

No exceptions allowed.

Imilce, Hannibal woman.
Spanish Princess.

Ready?

Well, as you can see, we make progress.

Well.

- In Cartago will be safe, Imilce.
- Safe?

Your Spanish woman hostage in Cartago at least
to be that my people not to walk to Rome.

It is normal practice in a war.

Do not like it for my safety.

We have fought hard for Spain.
We must ensure her safety.

Fighting? You even married for Spain.

This will soon be over...

..I will have my revenge on Rome.

And we will be together again.

In the spring of 218 BC
Hannibal's army departs from southern Spain.

In the first war with Rome had
Cartago fought defensive --

- And lost.

The Romans expected the second
same conduct would know war.

But do what Rome least expected
became the trademark of Hannibal.

The War to bring Rome
meant 90,000 infantry, --

- 12,000 cavalry and 37 elephants --

- Move over 2400 kilometers.
The winter came along.

We will reach the Rhone before harvest, and may
then supplies store before we cross the Alps.

If the harvest is on time,
or we are not too late.

- I would not want to be in the mountains when it snows.
- We have time, Maharbal.

South of the Ebro River they traveled through area
belonging to tribes who were loyal to Cartago...

But once again north of the river
they entered enemy territory.

Our guides I suppose?

We are secure passage depended on the
good will of local tribes, --

- Cartago neither loyal to Rome or not, --

- Only they themselves.

He says he agreed.

He says the roads are difficult hove
and we are lost without guides.

He even suggests that to be our guide.

Tell him that we are grateful and
we thank him for his help.

It was a risk but we had no choice.

Few of my men were ever
been this far north.

They were nervous and uncertain.

and not unfounded.

Hannibal, what will we do with deserters?

We lose men, if we let me catch
the horses, pulling them in pieces as an example.

Save the horses, our numbers will increase
when the northern tribes join us.

Ambush!

Baghold Hey!

- The bastard led us into a trap!
Take cover!

Maharbal...

They are scum,
that's it if you wanted vertouwt.

- How do we find our way?
- The prisoners will show us the way.

Otherwise, kill them.

The valley of the Rhone, Southern France
Autumn 218 BC, --
Our journey had just begun,

- And it was by natural forces
distinguish the weak from the strong.

I knew that only the fittest
useful would be in Italy.

General review everything we have.
It took too long to get here.

We miscalculated us.
If we spend the winter...

If we spend the winter, the major
our army ever waiting on the other side.

We go over the mountains!

- The Romans arrived in Marseille.
- That's only three days away.

- We will attack them there.
- We go to them in their territory!

Winter or summer,
We go over the Alps --

- And make it off.

The Roman army stopped in Marseille for themselves
obtaining supplies for their trip to Spain.

They had no idea that Hannibal's army was so close.

- It can not be.
- Yes General.

He's been on and Pyrineeën
is almost on the banks of the Rhone.

We wanted to fight him in Spain.

Maybe he protect Spain
us to fight in France.

Publius Scipio was a typical Roman general
reliable, predictable.

He just wanted me and rushing me to finish.
If he could find me.

Publius Scipio II.
Son of the Consul.

OR Rome is its purpose?

That's not so dusty, --

- He must stay close to the shoreline to get there.

Nobody would be army inside the country to pull through.

The terrain is too difficult.

The mountains and precipices that cursed.

Tomorrow we leave and intercept them.

Hannibal abandoned camp in the Rhone Valley
Autumn 218 BC.

- What do you mean, they are gone?
- For three days he says.

In what direction are they gone?

Oostwaarst, to the mountains.

You think they happen to the Alps?

If he succeeds, we were waiting on the other side.

I go back to Italy to put together a new army.

We will crush him while his home is in ashes.

We will NOT underestimate the barbarian.

Publius Scipio had to recognize the many rival.

It was a lesson that the Scipio family, --

- And especially the son would never forget.

E2N thing stood between us and Roman territory.

200 km snow, ice and rocks.

Hannibal was at the foot of the Alps at the beginning of winter.

His men were just the mild climate of Spain and Africa --

- But were not prepared for such circumstances.

When the army went to altitudes of 2400 meters, --

- There was no food no shuilplaatsen found.

To have had to come through my
men marching without rest.

If we were to stop we would freeze to death.

The cold and hunger gnawed at us.

Come on! Keep moving.

That's it!

Each day we lost thousand lives

But I was sure our course.

Keep moving!

Do not stop here or you're coming!

Keep moving!

When they reached the summit they saw --

- That the road was blocked by a landslide.

- Why are we stopping?
- The road is blocked.

Bring firewood and wine.

Hurry, hurry!

Put the wine in the snow and keep it cold.

It only needs some time.

50,000 men went into the mountains.

Measuring just over half came on the other side.

To the Romans to keep away from Cartago --

- That was a sacrifice I was willing to accept.

The journey took seven months of Cartago.

70,000 men died or deserted road.

An even greater challenge was waiting.

We are touched.

Hannibal came to fight.
but are weakened and demoralized troops --

- Had their real enemy is not in the eye.

They have survived, but now they are all sick.

The General cold, they are not used.

- Can anything be done?
- Rust maybe.

But even then I can not say when
they will be ready for battle.

- This is no longer an army.
- They only need food and rest.

- We need more soldiers.
- We will be recruiting local tribes.

- All barbarians.
- Warriors Marhabal, like us.

They hate Rome, as we do.

I fought not only against the Romans.

Half of their army of allies came from Italy.

To Rome I had the strength to defeat their tests.

What do you want from me?

Food, weapons and troops.

- To fight the Romans?
- In order to defeat them.

Your men look more dead than alive.
They're starving and exhausted.

- When you speak of madness.
- No.

Freedom.

What if your army leaves?
We have Rome earlier assaults.

You know what they do with those who fight them?

They let anyone alive, the bodies of
our people were together with our dogs.

If you will be joining us from Rome
no longer a threat based. I swear.

Cowards!
What have we cowards?

They are not cowards.
They previously fought against the Romans.

So what do we do now?

We go back.
Over the mountains.

If we stay and fight.

We do not have enough soldiers.

No battle is won in numbers.

What counts is the will to survive.

To that I asked my men to prove the
prisoners on trial. A fight to the death.

The reward: their freedom.

I wanted to show my army that they looked dead in the eye --

- Or would fight for a greater honor.

This man has earned his freedom
by fighting to the death.

I gave him no choice.

Just like our gods we have no choice
then let us fight for life.

In the coming days for you
Roman Army come to stand.

They are by far more than we.

He has more food in his stomach and is better supplied.

But the Roman soldier fights because he gets the order to do so.

We fight to regain what is ours.

The Romans thought that we are barbarians, savages.

Maybe some of us can.

But if we are to battle, --

- It is the knowledge that courage
will give us victory.

Cowardice and hesitation will give us nothing else
deliver over the defeat and death.

We fight for our lives!
We fight for our Cartago!

Publius Scipios first troops.
November 218 BC, northern Italy.

While Hannibal strengthened his army, withdrew
Publius Scipios north confrontation meeting.

The sooner we know numbers and position, --

- The faster we can to punish these barbarian
but ever to set foot on Roman territory to have put.

- How much?
- 4-5.000 of infantry and cavalry.

Keep your men out of sight behind the hill.

Here it begins.

The Romans would think that we easily
targets were weakened by the long journey.

That is exactly what I wish she thought.

A gift of Rome.

- The riders claimed not disappoint General?
- They fought bravely and had a good line.

That is so.

Our Roman colleagues had just not much sense in a fight.

- You almost had him slain.
- Almost? Did you not look Marhabal?

He was rescued by his son.

Two generations escaped.

The luck seems to them, Which family is this?

It's the Scipio, one of Rome's noblest families.

Their blood is as red as that determined their soldiers.

This time the father was injured.
The next time it might be the son in turn.

Then we can stop them, that's noble Scipio.
And their service to Rome.

OK, General, Cartago, we join with U.

You're welcome.

What you saw today,
is just the beginning. My friend.

Hannibal's first triumph in Roman territory --

- Sealed an alliance with the Northern Italian strains.

In response, Rome withdrew its troops from Sicily --

- To strengthen the forces of Scipio.

Consul Sempronius Longus withdraw northward.
November 218 BC

- Longus.
- Publius.

Thank U.

I understand that you have dad
lives through your heroism.

And I'm glad to see that my
colleague on the hand is better.

The doctors assure me that I will fully recover.

I believe we should attack Hannibal expeditiously.

And let him enjoy this fortuitous victory.

Coincidentally that was, Longus.

They came from nothing, they trampled us
almost before we could draw our swords.

I am so surprised you about the barbarian speaks.

On one days can learn a lot,
Sempronius.

For one we confront, I propose
that we equip our military to leave this winter.

Every hour that he is on our territory
spends is an insult.

We must act,
fast action before they can settle.

Tomorrow I go Trebia.

If Consuls Longus Publius and hold
the highest political office in Rome.

Every reign lasted one years.

At the end of his term was coming
Longus determined to fight.

In Trebia I fought him before his army
could prepare. And he bit the bait ini.

25,000 of their best soldiers were massacred.

In Trasmanië turned the horn of the
Roman army tegn me.

The protection of fog we drove them to
one more and a further 15,000 still bad off.

Some have drowned themselves rather
than our sword to finish.

I used only one name,
only known to few.

A shadow coming from the mountains.

Now my shaded area on the heart of Italy.

Yet a decisive victory, --

- And this war would be over.

Hannibal's army stood in battle from Rome.

For the first time in 50 years was
appointed a military dictator.

They chose Fabius Maximus.

May I remind you that Hannibal
Army at 150 km from Rome.

But we must fight them,
fight until they are destroyed.

Or until we go out tenonder.

Do you doubt the courage and the honor of the Romans?

These are the facts, Trebia cost us 20,000 lives.

We lost a Consul and 15,000
Transmanië soldiers.

We are losing.

And if we continue in this way
Rome tenonder direct confrontation will go.

Now is the time to be ruthless.

And not only against our enemies but also with ourselves.

To face our failures and our strategic thrust.

What you propose, Fabius?

That we rob him of the only thing he reformatting:

Battles.

The best way to fight him
for him not to fight.

Oh yes he has a great army,
but it consists of different peoples --

- Which can easily be divided
by blocking their supply...

..and the starvation of his troops.
In short, we take them in the stomach.

This is a tactic of cowards,
not that of soldiers.

Is the Roman army tactics
to those of a barbarian?

I would the Roman army to do anything --

- Hannibal to this once and for all defeat.

On the trip to the south --

- Gnawed at me like a disease that no enemy could.

- Do they really think if they win?
- They know that a hungry army a weak army.

We must find a way so they will attack us.

- Where is the healer?
- He is my brother.

We do not need this battlefield to defeat Romans.
I want to see their homes burn to ashes.

Their harvest their fields. Making them All
feel safe. All in ashes.

Except that of Fabius.

His property must remain intact.

Then we'll see how safe he still feels when he sees those around him are losing everything.

Fabius So, what do you think of your strategy?

He wants to provoke but nly.
Let him not.

Your property is not in smoke.

- The infection is very deep.
- Can anything be done?

- Sorry
- Let me only.

Outside!

Am I my mind?

Yes. Sorry.

Perhaps they see this as a bad omen.

- But it's not.
- Of course not.

You know what it means to be a
Roman citizen, Scipio?

It means that wherever you are and who you are, --

- And you are attacked or wrongly treated,
that all powers of Rome will defend you.

- This is a unique private empty.
- I understand.

This suggests a barbarian example, --

- To all who live at odds with Rome.

I speak for my own.
You are loyal to Fabius.

Fabius is my commander.
Who the commander is, he has my support.

Fabius vernederdt Rome.

My friend here has no discipline. Forgive him.

But perhaps this is an interesting.

Hesitate to speak freely, Scipio.

We are among friends.

Our current tactics let us seem weak.
Hannibal laughs at us.

This is not the way to Rome
should behave.

Zoho, in other circumstances...

..You could attack the barbarians?

Yes, with the right leadership.

Well, my friend.

Perhaps Fabius' policy does not
long from Rome.

His dictatorship is nearing its end.
I probably Wardt consul.

Then we might otherwise
find ways to solve our problem.

Six months later, his true ambition,
Varro was Consul.

Fabius' dictatorship came to an end and the
tactics to Hannibal not to attack.

Scipio was appointed as the new regime general.

He came to Rome the largest army ever been raised --

- And went to confront Hannibal.

Southern Italy.
216 BC.

It was one of the bloodiest battles ever.

Eight legions seems, 85,000 soldiers.

- Fabius miss you already?
- 85,000...

- The largest Roman army ever.
- They come as one, we will kill them as one.

- They are well trained it is a hard nut.
- Discipline is a virtue but a vice.

She learned only one way to fight,
that makes them predictable.

We will surprise them, and see each other from falling.

Gisco...

You're scared.
Of course not.

Not required. There there are 80,000 Romans.

But not one of them is called Gisco.

Cannae.
01 augustus 216 BC.

This is ideal.

We us there on the back. At right
protected by the river and left through the hills.

They can surprise us with an attack.
And their riders can take us in the back.

- That I would not be so sure.
- We are almost twice as much as she.

We verzmelen our troops and forming a massive shield and smash their central line.

Then we'll see of what wood it is made.

My only concern is whether he will fight.

Ooh, he will be fighting.

Hannibal's camp.
02 augustus 216 BC.

They are much more
and they chose a battlefield, --

- Ideal for their riders.
A smart choice.

But not as smart as they think.

We will prepare our forces in the form of an arc.

Strong and flexible

Mago, you have command of this line.

I can not stress enough how important it is for this battle.

The Romans, our preparation but we see no fear.

They will distrust simply because they have so much more.

We will leave them in the delusion.

Remember that their strength may be their weakness.

Just before our attack lines I want you
Maharbal attacking their riders.

Forward!

When they arrive they will see our riders answer.

At all costs you must drive them back and sow confusion.

Continue to progress!

We will suffer huge losses,
but you must drive them back.

The Romans will respond by a wave of foot soldiers to send.
They have more troops and to take advantage of that.

Soldiers of Rome! The fame!

Be patient brother.
ground slowly and give your price.

Automatically converted when your line breaks, and should --

- They will be sucked.
They will send more and more soldiers.

Reserves... ATTACKS!

Now they think they have won.

Let them taste the victory...

..before our hidden reserves
and mobilize their flanks to block

They will be surrounded on three sides.

They can only backwards.

Then you come back with your cavalry and cut them off the pass.

No mercy.

Cannae, southern Italy.
The summer of 216 BC.

It was the biggest ever victory on the battlefield.

60,000 Romans slain by our swords.

The military and political elite
slaughtered in one days.

A victory greater than that of Alexander
or equal to me who on the planet.

And yet I felt no triomfator.

Cannae was the darkest chapter in Roman history.

Everything that Rome had ever stood in a few hours uitgeveegd Hannibal.

his next move would be the outcome of the war record --

- And walk of history.

We must quickly leave... to Rome.

My men can be ready for council days.

We do not go to Rome.

- It's over, we won.
- No.

Not before Rome is destroyed and wiped off the map.

Why?

What?! We are not barbarians!

Rome sits on his knees, to prove that we
we should have won the city can not destroy.

We will no more,
Maharbal.

It's over.

The gods have not given everything to one man.

You know how to win, Hannibal.
But you do not know how to consolidate the victory

What do you propose?

We give Rome the conditions for their surrender.

Cannae was Hannibal's third great victory over Roman territory.

The standards of the then war had been to secure victory over Rome.

But Rome was not ready to accept defeat.

I will not point the finger.

I will not blame.

But this I say so.
If Rome wants to survive, --

- NOW it has a new army needed.

I lower the age for recruitment to 17 --

- And reduce the qualification requirements for military enlistment.

And I go further.

I grant amnesty to all criminals and slaves who would fight under the Roman flag.

We will find soldiers wherever we can.

We will use all means available. And if that means we have to empty out the temples --

- And the weapons and gold that we sacrificed to the gods back, then whether it be so.

- Da is blasphemy!
- It is the reality

The gods have weapons unnecessary.
We do!

No more battles.

No more noble gestures.

We will chase those barbarians, little by little, day by day --

- Until there is nothing left of him shooting over substance --

- As I said from the beginning.

Arogantie and proudly brought us where we are today.

But this is not a battle for the honor or the glory --

- Or to make promotional

This is a fight to the death!
For the survival of Rome itself.

They were supposed to surrender.

Did you really think that the Roman would surrender?

We passed through this country on our willpower.

We destroyed all our armies they afstuurden!
Several times we have battles they won.

The Romans could not forever continue to compose new armies.

Neither appoint new leaders. Under the rules of the art would have ended here.

We always followed the rules?

Brother...

- I want you to return to Cartago.
- Why?

In order to persuade the Senate to send more troops so that we can finish here.

We take town after town Italy, --

- To Rome is completely surrounded by hostile territory so they have to surrender.

Cartago. The Elder Board.
Autumn of 216 BC.

These are the rings of Roman senators, --

- Who have died by our swords.

They are the symbols of our many victories in Rome.

What we need now is more troops...

..once and for all so we can end this war.

Well... Mago Barca
If the Romans are still nearly defeated --

- Your brothers by heroic troops, why has he now needs our help?

With new resources and more troops can we stop this campaign.

I seem to remember that your brother that we would be short lived.

How long will it take now?
Three years.

And what have you achieved?

This campaign is about my friends.

Hannibal's army in Italy receives no further support of these Senate.

Furthermore, I want you, Mago Barca, --

- Gets the order of the reinforcements, --

- We will send to Spain.

We won and won and won again.

But they are sending reinforcements --

- To everyone except for Hannibal.

His enemies are still powerful.

They are all jealous of him, now more than ever.

If we have control in Spain, --

- I return to Hannibal and I will take as many soldiers as I can.

They let him down by his successes.

What will they do if it fails?

Pray for him, so he does not fail.

Without reinforcements could Hannibal not attack Rome.

For the next seven years he was isolated from everything.

Rome.
210 BC.

While Rome was ever stronger anda plan devised, --

- In order to end the war with Hannibal.

- What is so urgent, Scipio?
- I have a proposal.
- Yes, I already thought

Hannibal now we fight nine years.

And you gave Rome a shield which the enemy apparently not affected by...

Yeah, what do you do?

One victory does not reach you through your hide, but by the sword.

Fine words, Scipio. But the last time we made the same mistake and was almost killed us.

Only a fool makes the same mistakes twice.

I mean, here we leave everything as it is -

- But we do an invasion in Spain --

Hannibal while sitting here, we Cartagoniërs yonder a beating.

It is precisely hetgene he did with us.

And who will lead new army?

Are not you too young to lead a Roman army? You know the rules.

Fabius And you know how to reverse that.

Sorry, Scipio. I do not think Rome will take that risk.

But Fabius underestimated Rome's desire to end the war with Hannibal.

After ten years working to have seen Hannibal, Scipio would immediately prove --

- How he had just learned.

We must always ask what the enemy least expects.

And that we do.

His brothers, we will expect them in an open battle will impugn,... as we always did.

But we just do not.

Instead, we failed to do in Italy where Hannibal

We go to their capital.

New Cartago is our goal.

We lure away their defense, and thus lure them in the fall --

- We will destroy the city.

We will know no mercy.

While Scipio engulfing Spain, --

- The only man who could stop, --

- Was ordered to remain in Italy.
Powerless.

General, I see no good omens in the entrails.

But look deeper. I'm tired you fumbling.

You would not think I am lying, General?

I would let you cut open and serve as it would help me... Bit priest.

Why the gods in question?

The war is not fought.

Scipio wins victory after victory in Spain on our territory --

- While we rot.

Is this the end, Hannibal?

I call my brother. Hasdrubal?
He questioned me like you.

- But together we Rome.
- The Senate will never...

The pot on the Senate!
They do not read me the law.

These cowards will not say what I can and can not do.

I had my brother Hasdrubal not seen in 11 years.

I asked him that his army from Spain brought us here to strengthen.

He said that he was on.

Take this message to my brother.

Together with him I knew we would be invincible.

The problem was that Fabius knew.

Their two armies plans to join together in Umbriëm.

Well. Let us prepare a welcome.

Stand, beware!

- 50,000 lives are in your hands.
- You could follow them brother.

Is this how it all ends?

- They follow you until death.
- I will be an enemy of Rome.

With Hasdrubal Hannibal's death took the hope of victory in Rome.

Scipio returned to Rome as large triomfater back.

Now he zlefs even greater ambition.

Roman senators, I thank You

But there's more glory to gather.

With the conquest of Spain only, we win this war.

To safeguard our country from the occupiers of Cartago

..we must fight to bring Africa.

To Cartago.

Cartago will attack them if we recall Hannibal to defend their homeland.

And on African soil, I will beat him!

Like Hannibal threatened Rome once, --

- Scipio was now planning to take in Cartago.

The elders council, Cartago, North Africa.
We are experiencing the greatest crisis of the past 40 years

The enemy is on our territory --

- And threatened our survival.

We should take all measures to secure our homeland.

Hannibal should we not get back?

It is his fault that we are in this mess there.

Had Italy not attacked by crazy, --

- Had he not deprive Spain of his defense --

- Then our enemy now had not felt so comfortable...

The decision not to recall Hannibal was a disaster.

Cartagos army was crushed in the battle for Great Plains.

Hannibal remained one years in exile --

- Until he was called back to Cartago verde dereputatie of things and the politicians to save.

But already in the beginning was it him.

- We are losing our allies to Rome.
- Scipio is not stupid.

He uses exactly the same tactic we used against him.
We weaken our allies poaching.

These allies include the Numidian cavalry

How?

4000.

So they have a stronger cavalry.
Our only real advantage.

All we have is still an army of untrained recruits.

- We still have you General.
- And I love you still, and all the gods I shall you need.

Scipio is in Zama.

Yes.

I want as soon as possible and know its exact strength at his disposal.

Scipios' camp. Zama, North Africa.
202 BC.

Hannibal 'camp. Zama, North Africa.
202 BC.

Those things are still too young General,
We must have training.

But they have never disappointed me.
..General.

- We thought we were dead...
- But they just gave us a tour.

They showed you their camp?

Scipio himself showed us everything.

We thought we were dead, we thought they would kill us.

But he, the General, showed us his camp.

What he showed you?
His Numidian cavalry?

Yes. He showed us that first of al

- Since I have no doubt.
- Sorry, General...

You did what you had to do. I can ask nothing of you.
You may go back to your department.

What he tries to do? He tries to scare us or is he vechetn us?

I would not know.

I want to talk to him.

Hannibal and Scipio came face to face on the plains of Zama.

This battle is for nothing, Scipio.

I always thought I understood you.

The man understood that took such great risks.

Then it is a surprise to learn that Hannibal would have run away from a fight.

Rome oeren will not believe.

There are already too many deaths.

A pointless slaughter of good men on both sides can be avoided.

No.

If there is one thing I learned is that war should be fought completely.

- You taught me that lesson.
- You have achieved everything you owe to me, Scipio.

If I had not been --

- You would have become commander? I made you great.

You were the cause, that is not the same.

Had you taken to Rome when our gates were open for you, then we would not now stand.

You did not call it then.

- I will finish it NOW.
- Do not personally.

It became personal when you put foot down on Roman territory.

Tomorrow we will decide on the course of our history.

The battle was fought at Zama.
150 km south of Cartago.

In his 16 years campaign against Hannibal Rome had not lost a battle.

Hannibal's army had 50,000 soldiers --

- 30,000 more than Sciopos' army.

His 80 war elephants, the first Roman infantry attacks.

But Scipio anticipated well, --

- At the last moment were his lines open

- The beasts were lured into corridors of death.

The surviving elephant turned back and trampled their own army.

All of my Roman enemies showed a weakness that I could exploit.

I was always too smart, too strong and moisture better than them.

Save Scipio.

Scipio imitated my own copy my strategy and tactics.

Only now I saw how well he understood me.

The riders that he had taken from me, got the order to determine our fate, --

- Just as we did with them at Cannae.

In Zama he used everything he learned from me, --

- To beat me.

General, put yourself in veilgheid. You must live

Cartago, you need live.

Hannibal fled Zama.

The war was over. Rome had won.

19 years later.

But as long as Hannibal was alive Rome would know no peace.

She finally found him in northern Turkey Bitnië.

Hannibal Rome would never give the satisfaction that they could kill him.

Now is the time for the Romans to deliver this hated old man.

Fabius saved Rome from its biggest crisis.

But did not live long enough to defeat Hannibal at Zama to see.

Mago his brother would never look back

He died at sea before the battle of Zama.

Scipios political career had never seen such success as his military.

He died shortly after Hannibal.

- Is that all?
- Yes General.

I just wrote what he told me.

I... I know.

And if anyone ever man who will read his stories, --

- Then the Romans are.

Hannibal Rome brought to the abyss of destruction.

But after the battle of Cannae Rome not to take --

- He failed to give them the kiss of death.

Through his threatening Rome undertook action.

Eventually the power that they could ever prevail -

- Not only Cartago but also almost the entire known world.

Even after his suicide did Hannibal go live in the minds of the Romans.

Spokend always a painful reminder.

Rome's worst nightmare.
