Hannibal - Ancient Enemy of Rome wood print by Tharb Aworan.   Bring your artwork to life with the texture and added depth of a wood print. Your image gets printed directly onto a sheet of 3/4" thick maple wood. There are D-clips on the back of the print for mounting it to your wall using mounting hooks and nails (included). This ancient history inspired, Tharb Aworan portrait, explores General Hannibal Barca, born in 247 BC, was known as one of the most brilliant military strategists in human history. Brave and ingenious, he staged one of the most attacks in the history of military warfare on the formidable Roman amry during the peak of the Roman Empire's world reign. His most famous exploit may have been his crossing of the Alps in 218 B.C., where he led approximately 40,000 men and several dozen elephants through dangerous snowy mountains in order to invade Italy from the north. This agitated the Roman legions. Regardless of past depictions in art and history,
Hannibal was from northern Africa, and most likely of Ethiopian lineage. His military tactics are still studied today as a gold standard for catching enemies by surprise in warfare.
This rare masterpiece reflects another shining example of significant African contributions to military and world history in the ancient arena.
