If this is in the wrong forum, my apologies.
My Classics professor summarized the three Punic Wars. Unfortunately, he didn’t have much sleep last night, and it shows. I am completely confused - all I know is, some guys names Scipio and Hannibal were running around the Mediterranean.
I don’t need anything in depth, just something that covers the basics. It can be online or in a book, but please something readily available.
Hm, I actually don’t have any ready recommendations. The wikipedia articles aren’t bad, and this page, although clearly very amateur, seems to be fairly complete and I haven’t noticed any mistakes.
I wish I could give you an actual book reference by a historian though, I may have to get back to you on that. All the books I’ve read have been, I suspect, more in depth than you need.
LaurAnge, thank you. That is just about what I’m looking for!

I had glanced at the Wikipedia stuff, but I am very reluctant to trust the site in general. The only way I would know if something was wrong was if I knew about what I was looking up in the first place!
I can just see it now… “Columbus succeeded in reaching the New World only because of his victory over Hannibal Lector the year before…” :smack:
