"The War with Hannibal" by: Livy.
Penguin Classics.
I think some others have stated this before, but it was closer to New Carthage then to the Ebro.Hannibal, son of a general who did very well in the first Punic War, decided to cross the Ebro and lay siege to Seguntum, a city allied to the Romans.

Yes , Saguntum was "below" the Ebro , but Livy is right ! How ? He said "decided to cross the Ebro..." (that is one thing , and the second is...) "...and lay siege to Saguntum" . For example , one can say :he invaded Scotland and took Berlin" - there is no contradiction here , it is simply 2 different things .
I think we should look for a translator here , you really can look at it that way or the other . What do you think ?![]()
