Overview:The episode starts with the story of the Punic Wars and the great Carthaginian General Hannibal. Dave looks at Hannibal’s tactical brilliance including his use of war elephants. Next, it’s on to the Roman Coliseum where Dave “picks a fight” with one of those cheesy guys who mugs for pictures with tourists. You will learn more about this amazing place then you would imagine-including how all the gladiatorial bloodshed finally came to an end through a mild mannered monk.
