    Hi clairvaux,
    May I suggest posting this question the Monastery. I'm quite sure that the history bluffs over there would be happy to help you. Hope you get the answer you are looking for, cheers!

    You piqued my curiousity, so I looked @ wikipedia, which mentions no wife, however, I do recollect him having one but no children from one of the Ross Leckie books, but those are historical fiction and she may have been a plot device. IIRC, she was killed by some Roman auxiallaries in the book. On an interesting note, there is a movie called "Hannibal the Conquerer" slated for 2008 release. It will star Vin Deisel, which I dunno if that's good or bad.

    Bad, very bad.

    For one thing, Vin Diesel isn't black.

    Neither was Hannibal, he was a Semitic Phoenician.

    Yep, carthaginians were Mediterraneans not blacks.

    K, thanks for directing me in the right direction. I did manage to find some information about his family, briefly. Only that she was an Iberian princess of sorts, but I'm also interested of what happened to them after Zama.
