Hannibal’s route across the Alps:
http://www.livius.org/ha-hd/hannibal/alps.html.
This site gives the chronology of the alpine crossing but mistakenly
states the subject has “no importance.” Identifying
the actual route taken by the Punic Army will allow archaeologists
to focus on likely sites from which the recovery of artifacts will
provide new and important data on Carthage and its military arm.

as the ultimate col of passage of the Punic Army, a vector not supported
by the environmental evidence (see Mahaney, 2008, Hannibal’s
