Hi, my welcome to Dance Know's History Hit. Every week we bring you the best of our network

of podcasts or among the best fun network of podcasts. This is an episode of The Entrance,

the Tristorian, the legend is with this hundreds of thousands of streams every week. The

ancients is now a global phenomenon. We've got an episode on this feed for this week.

It's the rise of Hannibal, one of the most remarkable generals in the history of the world.

I think Hannibal, for me, top three general, I think, Genkis Khan, Hannibal, Khalid,

even Al-Walid, known by his nickname, the Drawn Sword of Alar, on my favourites.

Maybe, OK, Hannibal's top five. Safe top five. Well, safe top ten. Anyway, this is a man

that much. He's a brilliant general. All right, this is an elistical, not a last-colon buzzfeed.

Hannibal is up there. He's on the best generals in history. And you can hear why,

because it's about the rise of Hannibal. The Tristorian managed to get some pretty heavy

hitters on the podcast. Dr. Eve McDonald, Dr. Adrian Goldsworthy, Dr. Louis Rawlings,

all the big hitters telling him how Hannibal took his army to the gates of Rome,

almost shattered the dominion of Rome over the central and western Mediterranean. He came close.

He came very close. And you can hear how in this episode. It's good at all. We've also got a

series on history at TV called The Rise of, which is a podcast of companies. We looked at the

rise of great dictators, powerful political leaders through the centuries. Hannibal's one,

looking at Stalin, got a few others coming up. So if you want to watch that, you can just go to

history hit TV. History hit.tv. If you start up today, you get 30 days free. You can watch the

rise of Hannibal and sneak off. You don't want to pay very enough. But I hope we stick around,

because for less than the price of a plane to beer every month, you get the world's best history

channel. Literally, don't take it from me. Broadcast magazine nominated best specialist channel.
