One Question, we have seemed to have missed are what are the role of the Barca's in TTL. Does Hamlicar distinguish himself as an impressive General in the Quasi war between the Etruscan Leauge in 237-235 BC? Is there a reason for a Mercenary War to break out in Carthage after the Quasi War? And With his Popularity and lack of a War allow Hamlicar to reinstate the Monarchy over Carthage or atlest Sufete for life? And most of all, how would young man of Hannibal grow up raised in a world in Rome and with Carthage still the dominant power in the western Mediterranien?
