Price: My personal copy of David Anthony Durham: Hannibal - Pride of Carhage - delivered by air mail to any part of the world.
I am reading this book. It's the first english book I bought and so far I have enjoyed. Altough it is a novel, it's seem to me very historicle accurate. Very violent and very funny at times too. For what I have read so far, I'd say it's a pretty good book, but I'm no expert.
Yes, I enjoyed it, too. So if the winner already owns it or prefers another read (the new Osprey campaign book "Pharsalos" - anyone?) - I gladly offer a substitute (20 Euro) he/she may choose at Amazon. The disadvantage: It will take some time to settle the transaction.
Ok, Empedokles was most likely correct. Without any further clues, the quiz is perhaps too difficult.
So here they are:
(1) The relevant period can be shrunk to the epoch covered by EB.
(2) Each battle was fought on a different continent.
(3) Both battles were won by the same nation.
If that still doesn't help, I will give a last clue on Saturday night (CET/MEZ).
