Wow, interesting. I din't know anything about hannibal after his campaigns in Italy.
Viriathus is the leader of the iberian resistance against rome. He was the king of the lusitani (I think), and commanded succesfull raids and ambushes against roman armies that kept them from conquering the iberian peninsula so quickly. The romans bribed some of his officials to kill him, and when they took his head to the romans, they said "Rome don't pay to traitors". I think that the roman general was cornelius scipio, but I'm not sure.
Another question: Has the spanish city of Barcelona something to do with the Barca family?
