„O Kanny, Kanny”. Bitwa pod Kannami według Zonarasa (9.1.9-16)

Abstract

In his work Epitome historiarum, John Zonaras, a twelfth‐ century Byzantine chronicler, presents the battle of Cannae of 216 B.C. Relying probably on fragments of Cassius Dion’s text which are lost today, he depicts the quite unusual image of a grief‐ stricken Hannibal. This article contains a commentary and translation of Zonaras’ version of this part of his history of the Second Punic War.
