Pride of Carthage is a 2005 novel about the Second Punic War by American author David Anthony Durham.
After conquering the Roman-allied city of Saguntum, Hannibal accepts Rome's declaration of war.
He befriends peoples disillusioned by Rome and outwits the opponents who believe the land route he has chosen is impossible.
Hannibal's troops suffer brutal losses as they pass through the Pyrenees Mountains, ford the Rhone River, and make a winter crossing of the Alps, before descending to fight battles at the Trebia River, Lake Trasimene, Cannae and Zama.
The novel features a wide cast of characters of many nationalities, from famous generals down to infantrymen and camp followers, from Numidians to Macedonians.
