EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic final moments of Hannibal Barca, one of history's most renowned military strategists. Hannibal, born in 247 BC, met an untimely demise around 183 BC under mysterious circumstances that continue to intrigue historians. The image portrays a solemn and haunting scene as it delves into the theory that Hannibal committed suicide by poison. The details surrounding his death remain shrouded in uncertainty, but it is believed that during his time in Bithynia, he faced the imminent threat of being handed over to the Romans. Faced with this grim fate, Hannibal made a fateful decision to choose self-inflicted death over captivity. This illustration takes us back to ancient civilizations and offers a glimpse into the mind of a legendary figure who preferred to control his own destiny rather than succumb to Roman authority. It serves as a reminder of the immense power struggles and political turmoil that defined this era. As we explore this archival piece from Welsh photographer Ken's collection, we are transported through time and space. We find ourselves immersed in historical narratives where heroes face their darkest hours with courage or make choices that forever shape their legacies.
