Hannibal Ad Portas

Cato the elder: Ceterum censeo Carthaginem essse delendam

In the third century B.C. during the first Punic war
He was born. Son of Hamilcar, a sworn enemy of Rome.
Commander of the Carthaginian army.

Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam

He marched over the Alps with seventy shining tusks.
He seized Victory in Cannae.
Numidian riders crushed the cavalry and retreated,
And fought the enemy from behind.

Hail to the brave, Hail to the brave
Hannibal ad portas
He who defied an empire
Hannibal ad porta
Hail to the brave, Hail to the brave
Hannibal ad portas
He who defied an empire
Hannibal ad porta

The army was driven south
His brother and reinforcements were defeated
He answered the command and returned.
His final battle ended in defeat

After the defeat Hannibal fled to the east.
King Antiochus offered him protection
Roman vengeance followed him to Bithynia
He would not be taken

When he saw the soldiers coming
He took his own life.
Using his potion of death.
Hannibal lord of tactical battle
He died in Bithynia
