218 BC declared Hannibal Carthage the capital of Spain.

Rome, enraged by this threat his power,

promptly declared war under a pretext.

While Rome was preparing for an invasion of Spain prepared across the sea

Hannibal forestalled his archenemies crossing the Pyrenees.

In summer he reached the foot of the Alps.

Quiet! Quiet!

I ask for order!

The Senate always talks about rest. Why send You Hannibal not home?

- Maybe he listens to her! - Quiet! Quiet!

let's not Continue speaking Minucius.

Please Minucius.

A fool would be

who should try the Alps

with thousands of soldiers and to exceed 50 elephants.

We have more cause for celebration than concern.

We should thank the gods.

Because before our legions this face barbarians to fight,

have snow and freezing cold

his arrogant army greatly weakened.

And the Carthaginians who dared survive,

are so exhausted

that they are easy prey for our frontier legions are.

Quiet! Fabius Massimus has the floor.

Teach me if I'm wrong Minucius

I think our alpine legions

have enough to do with the Gauls.

Now they should record with Hannibal?

We send Scipio's army for reinforcement.

Punctual?

I doubt it.

- Fabius is always a sharp critic... - Quiet!

Fabius is right, let him speak!

I'm just warning excessive optimism.

conquered in a few years Hannibal all of Spain.

Not by soldiers and guns,

but with clever diplomacy.

A man of his caliber leads also an army over the Alps.

Even if it seems impossible.

He would be very flattered

if he know how much you admire him.

Senators! listen up

Hannibal crosses the Alps!

Our troops are fleeing.

- Doesn't anyone resist? - Rutarius is the only one.

He was always against us.

Rutarius and his troupe know the mountains,

he will be able to stop Hannibal.

The fate of Rome lies so in the hands of his enemy.

Forward. Further!

The path is safe! Pass it on!

Forward!

March!

Stand up! A flag bearer on the ground is of no use to us.

You're the best man in the regiment. On your feet!

Further. Drive on the animals!

Forward. Keep going...

Move! Unlock! Be careful, the way is dangerous.

Forward! Don't stop!

March! Go ahead, watch your steps!

Further!

Forward!

March on! Move or you'll freeze to death!

Danger! The summit is almost reached! It continues!

March on!

Get up...get up...get up!

Keep the elephants moving! Drive them on!

Don't slack off...

Come on now...

Don't be afraid, come on.

Keep the elephants moving! Move men!

Careful, he's fighting back!

Let him. He is dead.

Keep going or you'll freeze to death! Attention, be careful!

I'm cold and no more heat.

Keep the elephants under control!

take bread! eat and marches! take bread!

Have some bread!

Eat and march! Movement!

Hannibal, supplies have run out.

The men freeze to death

how long can we hold out?

Shouldn't we turn back?

Going back would be madness.

We only have left the way forward.

Until we all perish?

Not you, Maharbal, you are indestructible!

Would you relieve me of my command?

Are you kidding me?

Why do you want always leave me?

I have sworn, to remain loyal to Carthage.

I have it too.

What army do you think I lead?

Your task is in Spain

and not in these accursed mountains.

Better go back there before you fall from grace in Carthage.

If I had my army led through half of Europe,

let camp in these forbidden alps,

if there was another way

Stop Rome from invading?

Stay with us Maharbal.

I need you.

You are my brothers and my strength.

A great general needs only its own strength.

Do not worry about it. It's always the same.

when it matters you can rely on him. Hey Maharbal!

Hannibal!

Rutarius and his men give up.

Rutarius would like to negotiate.

You see, it just takes patience.

Hannibal is ready to listen to you.

- Are you Rutarius? - It's me.

speak!

I don't come to give up I propose you an alliance.

I accept no conditions. - You are surely aware

that my men your way can block to Italy.

Conquered with my help you the valley in a few days.

What are you asking for in return?

My tribe wants supremacy above all other peoples of the valley.

Agreed.

Do not shoot! Help him!

Out of the way! Back with you!

Away with them!

The guards should be more careful.

Next time it will give a severe punishment.

When will they realize that the elephants are the most valuable weapon.

would you have died it would have been the end of us all.

why do you value yourself So little, my brother?

move!

what you see down there is the valley of the Po.

Mago!

We could have done that. The Alps are behind us.

- We are preparing for the descent. - In order.

I will never forget you, my friend.

I keep my agreements and return to my mountains.

where does yours come from dark mood?

Conquer the Alps in 15 days!

- Thats a wonder! - It seems like 15 years to me.

We set out with 40,000 men.

Now it's less than half.

I tell myself to serve the gods.

Tomorrow the men can Enjoy Rome's delicacies.

Get the elephants ready! Let's go!

Just! Set up camp.

Check their outposts to see how they are secured.

move, help him!

looks worse than it is. I'll help you.

take him away

Good work! with men like you

you can conquer the world!

want a sip

Very good!

In Rome awaits us even better wine.

And how are the women?

Women? I don't know that.

You'll have to find that out for yourself.

Shines on my elephants it's good to go

- You deserve it! - Yes.

Should the Romans try to stop them

they don't stand a chance.

take good care of them they are our most important weapon.

Don't worry, I'll take care of her.

- Hasdrubal, Hannibal wants to see us. - Fine, I'm coming.

what about you

See you later! I have to do the work monitor at the gate.

In order. Come!

We have a reason to celebrate.

Italy's sight did the soldiers well.

Your will to fight is strengthened.

Let's not expect miracles.

The troops are too weak to conquer Italy.

We need allies!

With the help of which we undermine the unity of Rome.

We drink to you!

Every Roman should fear us.

And how?

By spreading the rumour: Hannibal and his army are invincible.

Rome needs violence and hear the looting.

We also proclaim:

As cruel as Hannibal is to his enemies,

so kind is he to his allies.

On the mountains all around let's light a fire.

At night we kindle them.

we pretend that we have new allies.

Let Rome believe that we our troops have multiplied.

This Roman slave claims he had important news.

Surely you don't want to be disturbed by him.

Incorrect. Any information can be important. Remember.

bring him to me

I know where one is valuable hostage.

High ransoms can be demanded for them.

- Speak! - Do I get free for this?

I don't bargain with prisoners.

Take him away!

No! No! Please don't let me be tortured.

I surrender unconditionally your grace.

The liberator of the oppressed.

release him!

- It is the niece of Quintilius Fabius. - Fabius the Senator?

He is the most powerful of all senators.

You can sell them dearly

or keep it yourself

She's in her summer house close.

Take him back to the cell!

Does your father know you're coming for me?

No, but he would agree.

You know how much he likes you.

The same thing happened to me.

What shall I say to that, Quintilius?

if something happens to you I would blame myself.

why are you treating me like a child?

I am an adult

- So let's go. - Mistress...

If we don't wait until it's dark?

We have to go to Rome quickly.

The Carthaginians!

Careful, they escape!

Do you care about this i follow her!

Bring him to camp.

Make sure he is treated well.

Be a good boy and come with me.

let me go

Someone else would have killed you for it.

I'd rather die

than falling into the hands of a monster.

Is that what the Romans call Hannibal?

would he hear you he'd cut out your tongue

I don't care what he does to me.

He will never conquer Rome.

That was nobly spoken.

Worthy of a niece of Quintilius Fabius.

how do you know who i am

One of your slaves told it.

In doing so, he bought his freedom.

You're right, my uncle is Senator Fabius.

He is a rich and powerful man in Rome.

He can make you rich.

- Wealth? - You need to release me and Quintilius.

You seem to care a lot about him.

He is young and I am responsible for him.

My uncle rewards you richly if you save us from Hannibal:

For example, with the supreme command of a century.

That would be tempting.

I could promise you a career.

Hannibal would skin me alive

if he finds out about it.

But I'll think about it.

will you do it

sorry i have to have you bring to stock now.

Hannibal the prisoner!

Are you Hannibal?

Yes.

I want me for your thank you for the generous offer.

May I know, what are you going to do with me?

First let's go drink your beauty

Then I want to dine with you.

What I offer is one not worthy of the Roman table.

But I hope you enjoy me.

What does that mean?

i am your prisoner

why don't you treat me like this

my prisoner?

You are my guest.

In Rome a guest can go if he wants.

But not so late in the evening.

The streets are teeming with soldiers.

Just a bad one host allows it.

when can i go

- Maybe in the morning. - Am I supposed to believe that?

I know that I can't force you.

I can only promise.

What is the reason for so much generosity?

I am generous if i can afford it

Will you release Quintilius too?

It depends on you.

- What do you mean by that? - You are a difficult person,

maybe you need some fresh air.

It's cold, you may need it.

where do you want to take me

I want to show you the camp.

What interest could I have in this?

I thought you were interested how we barbarians live.

Play the song! plays!

What's with the fire?

These are different camps.

There are the Numidians.

The Libyan cavalry are up there.

Further to the right are the Iberians.

the fastest riders, that you can think of.

Here are my Carthaginians.

This is my strongest squad.

Every soldier is a longtime veteran.

Let me go, please let me go

- But why? - I'm cold.

- Is that Hannibal? - Yes.

I would like to be in his place.

- How dare you! - Let him go!

He is under Hannibal's protection.

These are my elephants.

The mightiest animals known to man.

Look how strong and powerful they are.

Nothing can stop her.

Have no fear, they only attack my enemies.

- How do you use them in combat?

Very simple, they stomp everything in the way down.

You become your uncle deliver a message.

What message?

Tell him: Hannibal wants peace.

Peace?

You dare to say: the ruthless attacker?

Aggressor!

Your country is at war started, not mine.

Carthage just wants to live in peace.

But it also wants to be free.

Not just a Roman province.

I know your vow: You have with your brothers

swore as a child to destroy Rome.

You are wrong.

We do not have sworn to attack Rome

but never flinch from him.

We don't speak the same language.

- Why is it taking so long? - Are you his nanny?

he is old enough to take care of yourself.

I don't think your brother will sleep a lot today.

you are wrong

The girl goes back to Rome.

We came to Italy to destroy Rome

We can get such Don't allow feelings.

Do you think I'll set her free because she means something to me?

You can war on lead different ways.

Quintilius!

Hannibal apologizes.

He wishes you a pleasant journey.

- He hopes to see you again soon in Rome! - In Rome?

What's up?

where have you been tonight

what price do you have paid for our freedom?

Sylvia!

You are a child.

We have our freedom Thanks to Hannibal's generosity.

Rising up!

Because I know you Sylvia,

I can't accept that you did something wrong.

But I'm afraid you understand Hannibal's gesture wrong.

Why this distrust?

We were his prisoners.

Your son was in his hands.

- Hannibal could have taken revenge. - Hannibal has only one goal.

We agree on that.

Even if he kills my son.

I know he just wants peace.

He wants the fall of Rome.

And you have the task of telling us about to teach his power.

He wants to worry us to have an easier game.

That's the only reason he released you. Don't you get it?

Your hate blinds you.

Let's try. What does Rome have to lose?

It soon turns out whether he is sincere or not.

If he wants peace you could save thousands of lives.

It would be a sign of weakness to negotiate with him now.

Your feelings have no place in war.

Didn't I say so? She's lost her mind.

She's a woman, Quintilius.

Let's be reasonable.

Hannibal has two enemies:

The time and the great distance.

Let's stop him and weaken him.

Through minor skirmishes.

Every day, every hour that goes by saves our strength.

And is one more arrow on our bow.

Senator Fabius has strange suggestions.

Wars are not delayed or

won such games.

Titus Longus won the war with 40,000 soldiers, not with words.

When will our Legions finally on?

A decisive victory in open battle,

could mean an end to the war.

Yes! Let's do it!

Let's drive Hannibal out of Italy!

Let's hope for Rome's welfare

that my suggestion was wrong.

What should we do?

In a line! Hold the fort!

Hold the fort!

These animals are indestructible! Back men! Return!

Be careful!

Hannibal, many refugees try to escape across the river.

let her go

Give orders to gather now.

People should rest.

- Tomorrow we continue to Etruria. - Yes indeed!

Hannibal, your eye is worse again.

- You have to take care of it. - You sound like mother.

Careful, foreseen.

Doctor, can't you help him?

I don't have the right tools.

- Can't you get them? - That would take too much time.

Many men are sick with a fever, but that...

At least ease his pain!

Hannibal, please!

Tell me the truth!

Will this make me blind?

No definitely not.

But you will endure great pain.

Let's get it over with.

This is not the time for a change of command,

a battle rages in Trasimeno.

The Senate has decided the people are against Flaminius,

we must bend to their will.

Leave the people out of the game!

you believe everything what you make them believe.

whatever happens you both take responsibility.

We only serve the gods and the gods are against Flaminius.

Blasphemy!

The gods have nothing to do with it

it is not the gods who oppose Caius Flaminius are,

but his political rivals!

And they use the foolish superstitions off

to detach him.

I will make such mistakes no longer attend

for they evoke Rome's downfall!

A merchant is waiting at the gate he wants to show his wares.

- Send him away. - He asks me to tell them

that he valuable jewelry

and has ivory with it.

How dare you without permission to come in?

He can stay.

Oh bring me please my cloak, it's chilly.

It is very kind that she

look at my unworthy wares.

Don't try to fool me You are not a trader. What do you want?

I have the order, the mistress Something to deliver to Sylvia.

What is it?

- From Hannibal? - He wants you to keep him.

- He could still be of use to you. - How come?

The fall of Rome seems inevitable.

Flaminius' legions were destroyed.

The Carthaginians are soon in front of Rome.

Hannibal fears something could happen to them.

- Who are they? - A delegation from the Senate.

take this and go before you are discovered.

Please keep it. Otherwise I'll pay with my life.

have with this ring you nothing to worry about.

So it will not become a Carthaginian do something to a soldier!

you can use it to happen for sure.

You have been absent for a long time.

We miss your valuable advice.

Flaminius" defeat probably results in

that Hannibal marched to Rome.

We need you in the Senate.

We don't have time to argue.

Let's get our legions back from Gaul.

We can use any man.

You seem to know what to do

why are you coming to me?

Do you have another suggestion?

Don't get it wrong

there is no time for discussion.

That's correct. It takes someone who makes a decision.

And takes full responsibility.

Your proposal means dictatorship. The Senate will never agree to that.

You seem your choices already met...

- Why are you here? -We were defeated at Lake Trasimeno.

They think Hannibal is unstoppable.

you are wrong Hannibal is ready to negotiate.

How do you know?

Look at this ring. He sent it to me.

Are you forsaken by all the gods? Are you still in touch with him?

But Quintilius! He wants with us negotiate peace.

What are you planning to do?

i go to him

Come with the ring me across the enemy line.

Sylvia, you can't do that.

When the Senate learns that you receive spies here,

this is my father's downfall.

we'd rather perish than asking the enemy for peace.

Let me go! you're hurting me

Sylvia!

Don't you get it? Hannibal does not want peace.

He sends the ring for one reason only.

What do you think?

He wants you. I knew right away when i saw you

What do you mean by that?

Sylvia...

I...

I love you!

Quintilius, please!

You should never say anything like that again.

Why not?

we grew up together

- You're like a brother. - You lie!

You love Hannibal!

The Senate and the people of Rome decree total mobilization in this state of emergency.

All men from 15 to 50 years are called to arms.

Report to your post!

When the Senate creates new troops, I enlist in arms.

I won't stop you. It is your duty.

Thanks father!

I promise, to honor our name.

Certainly, my son.

Hopefully it is not in vain.

We will defeat the Carthaginians.

We all wish that.

However, haste and panic are rarely the route to victory.

If only we could have a truce negotiate with him.

3 months would have been more for us means as a new army.

It was a mistake not to accept Hannibal's proposal.

It's madness not to march any further now.

For you everything that glitters is always gold.

At the moment I have no intention to leave here

you know how to win but not how to exploit victories.

That's what history should judge. Hannibal!

A woman wants to talk to you.

She showed us this ring.

She's waiting there.

Back to camp!

Thanks for coming.

You mustn't thank me.

I need your help.

I'm very glad you're here.

When we last saw each other did you speak of peace

There is no peace with Rome.

You sent me to my uncle because you wanted to negotiate

It seemed the only way.

Why did you send me the ring?

i wanted to see you again

And I hoped it would also be your wish.

I'm here for Rome.

That is the only reason?

What else should it be about?

- What about your eye? - No worries. That heals.

I beg you: don't let me down Rome returned without a peace offer.

For all of us.

Impossible!

Who should you your dictate decisions?

Carthage,

My officers, my troops.

Stop!

Follow me.

please keep him for me

For us.

No Please not.

Surrender!

Quintilius! Quintilius! Stop! stop!

No, Quintilius, no! - Stop!

I want to kill him myself.

Quintilius!

Don't hurt her!

I saved your life

That's a strange kind of gratitude.

What's your name?

Quintilius. I am the son of Fabius.

The senator's son?

Very clever of you and your uncle.

let her go!

I told the truth

and I repeat

I am alone with Hannibal to create peace.

i have you in his arms found.

Or do you want to deny that?

So is it true then?

Yes, it is true.

I love him. But nothing was further from my mind

than to betray you

or my family

or Rome.

You bring shame on our house.

I fight for trust in the Senate,

and my own niece

throws himself into the arms of the enemy.

The Roman law has for it only one penalty:

You will be buried alive

until you die.

May the gods forgive me.

I can't accuse you publicly.

You are very close to my heart.

From childhood I loved you like my own daughter.

But you will for your atone for transgressions.

Tomorrow morning you will led to the temple of Vesta.

You will for the rest of your no longer leave life.

You live in chastity with women, who dedicated their service to the goddess.

This camp is ridiculous Rome is not far away.

It's Hannibal's command. We put them to flight.

Why don't we take advantage of it?

In four days we could celebrate our victory in Rome.

Hannibal has no time to besiege the city.

The Romans don't have enough Men to defend Rome!

Sylvia!

What are you doing here?

I've looked for them everywhere. It is very late.

You cried!

No worries.

I must pay my debt alone.

Atone for what?

- For her love? - Please!

No, listen to me.

Hannibal has the truth experience. He loves you, Sylvia.

The dealer was here every day.

Today he left a message.

Hannibal is waiting for you and happy to see you again.

Please let me explain...

I never betrayed you believe me.

I never betrayed you!

Wait for me in the tent.

We break camp and march to Venosa tomorrow.

Hannibal, we have to talking to you.

Not now. That has until later.

You don't want to take the woman with you, do you?

I wish my commands to be executed.

She will be our downfall.

I propose Varro for proconsul. Varro fought Hannibal

in Spain and Italy.

There is no other Roman who understands Hannibal better

and his sudden retreat can explain before Rome.

It can be a strategy be of the Carthaginian.

We do not want be optimistic too soon.

Fabius judged the location is not so good.

He thinks Hannibal is stronger than ever.

Fabius' opinion is not of interest.

Why did he return not return to the Senate?

He fears the conspiracy to be charged?

Yes!

I'm scared, Varro,

I'm afraid.

If I have to defend myself

then I blame the Senate!

You have all breached your duty!

How do you think it should the people to be governed?

By eating his own flesh and deliver blood to the enemy?

I have to admit:

I don't know where my niece is.

But if your suspicion

turns out to be justified

if it comes true

I swear to all the gods

that the day I Sylvia get to face

at the same time the day should be her death.

there is no woman that could affect Hannibal.

No? Then explain to me

why he the fight prevented by any means?

You know very well that he wants to win new allies.

We need weapons and food.

In front of Trebia and Trasimeno it was also possible without.

Rome wasn't as weak then as it is today.

you defend your brother but you do it without conviction.

There is only one solution

- We have to get rid of the Roman woman. - I'm sorry, what?

Accidents happen every day in the warehouse.

Maybe the guards will forget to close the elephant enclosures?

The elephants panic and...

Have you lost your mind? If Hannibal finds out about this...

What's going on there?

What I foresaw.

I knew it would hard to convince you

Drive them back!

- We need more torches! - More torches!

Back, Surus! Out!

Return!

Please do not worry,

i was just scared.

Someone opened the enclosures and panicked the elephants.

stay with her

Hannibal better never find out what you have done.

I did it for all of us. I take full responsibility.

It's just unfortunate that it failed.

What failed?

- What went wrong? - I wanted to eliminate them.

She is our undoing.

Are you not above me...

I wouldn't need you

Hannibal has a duel!

You fought for me, didn't you?

Now everything is good.

No.

No, it's not.

your men hate me

That's why she wanted to kill me.

If you keep holding me they will hate you as well.

I'm just causing a stir and discord in the camp.

Your men can't forget that I am Roman

and her enemy.

You will, Sylvia.

But how about you?

Everything speaks against us, everything.

Do you regret that you came to me?

I regret nothing, my love!

The Senate made a serious mistake

to make Varro commander.

He is driven by feelings not of reason.

But they also appointed Aemilius, you always trusted him.

Yes.

How can an army be led when their commanders hate each other?

Aemilius knows how to deal with Varro, you'll see.

Let's hope so.

always hold you near him, my son.

That couldn't have been better can walk for us.

The Roman army is almost twice the size of ours.

Yes, but you're missing something

the Romans have two commanders,

who can't stand each other to death.

Do you know what this means?

fragmentation of forces, disobedience and confusion.

We will take advantage of that.

The Romans cross the Ofanto,

they are planning a big attack.

Here.

This is the river. And these are the Roman troops.

We let them cross the river.

The only danger goes from their cavalry.

But they are restricted in their movement.

Our infantry in the center will retire.

And finally we grab her from behind.

Now we can encircle and crush.

Advance the 5th Century!

Century Caius and Cato at my command: Companies 1, 6 and 7 as planned!

Move!

8th Centruy, March!

Varro, listen to me.

It's dangerous so close to take a stand on the river.

The cavalry has no place to maneuver

you might need them in an emergency.

Today I command, do you understand?

- I'm in command! - This is suicide!

You have to submit.

We don't need your cavalry.

Hurry up to embark the raft!

Don't wait!

Just!

Phase One: Attack the Outposts!

Quiet!

Come on!

Just!

Hamilton, strike hard!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Back to our post tone!

The Carthaginians retreat!

Good. Return to your posts. Give the marching orders!

Hit the enemy in the middle!

March!

Our fate hangs from this fight.

Do we lose, we are hunted like criminals

our army is enslaved and we shall never see our country again.

But if we win

we have the future of the Roman Empire in our hands.

Hannibal, the Romans are attacking!

The center should retreat further!

The Romans fall into our trap!

Like the rats in the trap.

The left wing should be ready.

I lead the right one. We attack at the same time.

But the Romans haven't used them cavalry yet.

You have the river at your back.

Any maneuver attempt is crossed by us.

The Romans march on. You must be here soon.

Take cover! They attack from all sides!

We're surrounded!

We need backup! Get Paulus Aemilius and the cavalry!

Varro is included!

Take me to Paulus Aemilius! Where is he?

We need the Carthaginian break the battle line

and free our cohorts!

To the rescue! Let's free them! Forward

Forward!

Attack!

Forward!

We're cut off!

Attack!

Varro escaped! The Carthaginian cavalry includes us,

they will slaughter us!

We're all flanked! We have to get back across the river!

Back to the river! Back to the river!

Follow the Romans to the river!

Return! Follow them, until we come over!

the fight is over let your commanders know!

No Roman may Cannae left alive.

Consul Paulus Aemilius is dead. The Roman has

also the body of his son Quintilius Fabius found.

I'm sorry!

sorry that we intrude on you unannounced.

We offer you our condolences

of the senate to the death of your son.

This is his sword.

Many fathers weep for their sons.

Maybe want the gods punish us.

Fabius, our visit still has a reason

The Senate offers you the office of proconsul.

This time on your terms.

Even you, Minucius?

You were my most stubborn opponent.

Let's forget our quarrels.

I want your trust show worthiness and do what i can.

I express the wish of every citizen of our city when I say:

Rome will never submit to an attacker.

The words that Hannibal his called out to soldiers at the crossing of the Alps,

"Either win or die."

What happened?

your uncle is elected proconsul.

He sent me a message: win or die.

maybe you did expected something else?

You seem content.

No!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

In Capua today is a festival for given me

i want you to come with me

Please do not. you go alone

It's not good to look like that complete from all over the world.

It can be dangerous to rest too much.

let her rest If maharbal comes back, the war goes on.

I hope they bring reinforcements we need them.

No worries!

Hannibal, are you coming? not go to Capua?

The festival is in your honor. it looks like as if the festival is in your honor.

I'll go with you, come see us later!

Please!

Hannibal, Maharbal is back,

he is in your tent.

- Hasdrubal? - He arrived in Italy.

Wonderful!

Father!

Does your eye hurt?

Just a little bit.

I only wear that because the light bothers me.

Would you like to feed the elephants?

- Yes! - Mago!

Come on, I'll show you!

Come on!

What are you doing here?

i want my place take by your side.

I parted with consent the priest from you years ago.

- I am your son's mother. - We don't want to drag him into this.

Danila, I have tired of your eternal whims.

that you don't have to suffer I made sure of that.

Everything I own belongs to my son.

What about the reinforcements from Kathargo?

If you had followed my advice, you would have we already conquered Rome.

And Carthage would have you Reinforcement certainly not denied.

Reinforcement denied?

What does this mean?

Hasdrubal has only 4000 men left.

4000 men?

That's impossible.

In Carthage one has lost trust in you

Do you finally understand why am i here

Where is Sylvia?

She asked for a horse and rode away.

Come on... Ah, Hannibal!

On the one hand...

Please do not go!

Why did you ride after me? please let me go

Sylvia!

Go back to your wife. I want no longer be in the way.

I will not explain myself further.

I love my son, Sylvia.

And I love you.

I understand you,

I had everything a woman could wish for.

With you I have mine spent the happiest hours.

Now I must return to Rome.

Your return means your death.

Fabius will understand and defend me

There!

Wait! Sylvia!

Just! wait! Take me with you, I'm Roman!

Don't shoot!

Take me with you!

You are too good for me!

I'm scared but I'm trying!

Have mercy!

Hands up, Romans!

- I cut them off! - Stop!

you should go mago

leave us alone

Put away the sword.

Your son is doing well.

He was already able to fence at the age of 4.

I gave him the best teachers in Carthage.

Everything has been done as you wished.

I always said that he shouldn't become like me.

He should know no hatred and no revenge.

please bring him back Be decent, Danila.

Not for me but for you.

Wait here!

Wait, Hannibal, wait!

It's our brother.

The Romans cut off his head.

- Is it time? - Yes.

A moment.

Now? I'm ready.

I'm not afraid before dying.

That's all I can do.

Death will come quickly

without pain.

drink this

Thanks.

Please!

He gave it to me.

I promise he'll get it back.

Down with the spears!

Brother, the Romans are attacking!

They overran our vanguard.

Let's go!

March!

March!

From now on that is Hannibal's fate sealed.

Bound by a terrible oath

only one thought dominates him:

To smash the power of Rome.

He keeps fighting for ages

in many countries.

Maybe with the last hope

that his son will never follow in his footsteps

and the burden of history lies on his shoulders.
