    Episode 24: Baecula, Venusia, and Metaurus

    This episode I discuss three battles that were steppingstones to the end of the Second Punic War. Baecula in Spain sent Hasdrubal Barca to Italy to attempt to aid his brother in taking control of Italy. Venusia was another loss for the Romans but there was little Hannibal could do to capitalize on his success. Metaurus was truly emblematic of the fate of Carthage. Find out why in this episode.
