With thanks to DoomMerchant for [urlnp=http://mancityfans.net/news/?p=298]THIS [/urlnp]rather wonderful article.

Yay, the previews are back. Didn't realise how much I dug them til they weren't around. Great job Doomy. You make me want to learn more about history. To the Library!!

P R E T E N T I O U S !


I love it! Nice work Doomy.

But the Second Punic War ended with Hannibal retreating from Italy and eventually losing all Carthaginian territory in Spain (didn't it?).

Cannae may be the first 20 minutes, but the whole match is the Second Punic war!!

So those little Carthaginians are going to get their asses kicked tonight.

Bet adebayor regrets that picture. All he needs it a yellow helmet and a fucking stop sign and he could join village people

Thanks for a good read, forgive me for missing out the first bit, i'm not into parables or whatever they are called.

i mention how the war ends. It took Rome another 15 years to vanquish Hannibal after what seemed like a sure opportunity to destroy him in his tracks on their own soil.

I wouldn't say the whole match is the war at all if i have to be transparent.

cheers

Prose Virgil himself would've been proud of.

Entertaining stuff.
