Appian of
Alexandria (c.95-c.165) is the author of a Roman History and
one of the most underestimated of all Greek historians. Although only his
books on the Roman Civil Wars survive in their entirety, large parts of
other books have also come down to us. His account of the War against
Hannibal contains some information that can not be found in other sources
(Polybius of
Megalopolis and Livy),
is fortunately well-preserved, and is certainly accessible.
The translation was made by Horace White; footnotes
and additions in green by Jona Lendering.
There are two systems to divide the Hannibalic
war: in sixty-one sections or nine chapters. On these webpages, the
text is divided into sections; the following table shows the division into
chapters.
