Hannibal ( also known as Hannibal : Rome 's Worst Nightmare ) is a 2006 television film , presented as a dramatised documentary , made by the BBC . It is narrated by Kenneth Cranham . The film is chiefly centred on the Italian campaign of Hannibal , the famous Carthaginian general during the Second Punic War .
Hannibal ( /ˈhænɪbəl/ ; Punic : 𐤇𐤍𐤁𐤏𐤋𐤟𐤁𐤓𐤒 , BRQ ḤNBʿL ; 247 - between 183 and 181 BC ) [ note 1 ] was a Carthaginian general and statesman who is widely considered one of the greatest military commanders in history . His father , Hamilcar Barca , was a leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War ( 264-241 BC ) . His younger brothers were Mago and Hasdrubal , and he was brother-in-law to Hasdrubal the Fair ; all also commanded Carthaginian armies . Hannibal lived during a period of great tension in the western Mediterranean Basin , triggered by the emergence of the Roman Republic as a great power after it had established its supremacy over Italy . Although Rome had won the First Punic War , revanchism prevailed in Carthage , symbolised by the alleged pledge that Hannibal made to his father never to be a friend of Rome . The Second Punic War broke out in 218 after Hannibal 's attack on Saguntum , an ally of Rome in Hispania . He then made his famous military exploit of carrying war to Italy by crossing the Alps with his African elephants . In his first few years in Italy , he won a succession of dramatic victories at the Trebia , Lake Trasimene , and Cannae . He distinguished himself for his ability to determine his and his opponent 's respective strengths and weaknesses , and to plan battles accordingly . Hannibal 's well-planned strategies allowed him to conquer several Italian cities allied to Rome . Hannibal occupied most of southern Italy for 15 years , but could not win a decisive victory , as the Romans led by Fabius Maximus avoided confrontation with him , instead waging a war of attrition . A counter-invasion of North Africa led by Scipio Africanus forced him to return to Carthage .

Gabriel ( /ˈɡeɪbriəl/ ; Hebrew : גַּבְרִיאֵל , lit . 'Gavri'el God is my strength ' , Ancient Greek : Γαβριήλ , lit .

He was first described in the Hebrew Bible and was subsequently adopted by other traditions . In the Hebrew Bible , Gabriel appears to the prophet Daniel to explain his visions ( Daniel 8:15-26 , 9:21-27 ) . The archangel appears in such other ancient Jewish writings as the Book of Enoch . Alongside archangel Michael , Gabriel is described as the guardian angel of Israel , defending this people against the angels of the other nations . The Gospel of Luke relates the stories of the Annunciation , in which the angel Gabriel appears to Zechariah and the Virgin Mary , foretelling the births of John the Baptist and Jesus , respectively ( Luke 1:11-38 ) . Many Christian traditions - including Anglicanism , Eastern Orthodoxy , and Roman Catholicism - revere Gabriel as a saint . Islam regards Gabriel as an archangel sent by God to various prophets , among them Muhammad . The first five verses of the 96th chapter of the Quran , the Clot , is believed by Muslims to have been the first verses revealed by Gabriel to Muhammad .

Hermes ( /ˈhɜːrmiːz/ ; Greek : Ἑρμῆς ) is a deity in Ancient Greek religion and mythology . Hermes is considered as the herald of the gods , as well as the protector of human heralds , travellers , thieves , merchants , and orators , respectively . He is able to move freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine , playing the role of the psychopomp or soul guide - a conductor of souls into the afterlife . In myth , Hermes functioned as the emissary and messenger of the gods , and was often presented as the son of Zeus and Maia , the Pleiad . Just as well , he is regarded as the divine trickster , for which Homer offers the most popular account in his Hymn to Hermes . His attributes and symbols include the herma , the rooster , the tortoise , satchel or pouch , winged sandals , and winged cap , as well as the palm tree , goat , the number four , several kinds of fish , and incense . However , his main symbol is the caduceus , a winged staff intertwined with two snakes copulating and carvings of the other gods . His attributes had previously influenced the earlier Etruscan god Turms , a name borrowed from the Greek herma . In Roman tradition , Hermes was known as Mercury , a name derived from the Latin merx , meaning merchandise , and from where we get the words merchant and commerce .
