"Hannibal" the son of Hamilcar Barca of Carthginian Africa or Hannibal Lector?
The answer to your question was that Hannibal was an African. The Roman genral who defeated him Publius Scipio, after the defeat took the agnomen "Africanus" or P. Scipio Africanus, giving him the distinction of being the conqueror of Africans. This victory by Scipio was the first victory outside Italy for the Romans, and the beginning of the Roman Empire. Had the Romans lost, Rome might not have become a world power and western civilization might have gone another direction entirely."Hannibal" the son of Hamilcar Barca of Carthginian Africa or Hannibal Lector?
The cute one, of course.
And by cute, I mean badass general who nearly conquered Rome.
The "Africans" were a loose confederacy of Phoenician trading/merchant city-states. They did not occupy a great deal of territory, confining their interests to coastal fortresses with a small hinterland of peasants to service their industry.Perhaps the Africans would've enslaved the Europeans?
