British Alpine Hannibal Expedition : ウィキペディア英語版 | British Alpine Hannibal Expedition The British Alpine Hannibal Expedition was an experimental archeology event that took place in 1959. British engineer John Hoyte led an expedition that tried to reenact aspects of Hannibal's legendary crossing of the Alps during the Second Punic War in 218 BCE. The group successfully took the female Asian elephant ''Jumbo'', provided by a zoo in Turin, from France over the Col du Mont Cenis into Italy. == Background ==
After the Carthaginian defeat in the First Punic War of 264–241 BCE, Hamilcar Barca secured an extensive territory in the Iberian peninsula for Carthage. At the beginning of the Second Punic War in 218 BCE, his son Hannibal took an army of perhaps 50,000 men and 37 war elephants from Hispania (modern-day Spain) to Italy, where he led a 15 year campaign against Rome. Hannibal avoided the coastal route, and took his army over the Alps. His march has been described by ancient historians Polybius and Livy. The exact route, however, has been subject of long but inconclusive scholarly discourse.〔 In his 1955 book ''Alps and elephants: Hannibal's march'', Gavin de Beer lists 12 possible candidates from 30 different books.〔
