Hannibal é um romance histórico de 1995 do escritor escocês Ross Leckie. O livro relata as façanhas da invasão de Roma por Aníbal começando em 218 a.C., narrado pelo general cartaginês em sua aposentadoria. Foi o primeiro da trilogia de Cartago, cobrindo as Guerras Púnicas. O romance recebeu críticas mistas, principalmente devido à violência extrema ocasionalmente descrita na narrativa.
“I have come not to make war on the Italians, but to aid the Italians against Rome.”
“Ah there is one thing about them more wonderful than their numbers … in all that vast number there is not one man called Gisgo.”
“nullum contemptu m[ortis incitamentum] ad uincendum homini ab dis immortalibus acrius datum est.”
“Liberemus diuturna cura populum Romanum, quando mortem senis exspectare longum censent. (Latin, not original language)”
“I am not carrying on a war of extermination against the Romans. I am contending for honour and empire. My ancestors yielded to Roman valour. I am endeavouring that others, in their turn, will be obliged to yield to my good fortune, and my valour.”
