    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.
