Just a history/ politics buff who does a ton of research and then tells the stories of histories that we should all know but don't get taught. They're great for long car trips and stuff! You should check them out. :) He's on number 23 or something, so he's talked about a lot more than just this Punic war stuff - from ancient history up to WW2. :)Sarah {The Student Knitter}https://www.blogger.com/profile/16675019085913769597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-70490075152406922632009-09-18T23:23:30.557-05:002009-09-18T23:23:30.557-05:00A hundred years of fighting, funded by textiles......A hundred years of fighting, funded by textiles...
