Part 18: Retracing the Tracks of Hannibal
In the 3rd century B.C., the world was in turmoil due to Hannibal’s war with the Romans. Following
the path of the fearless General Hannibal, who lead his advancing army across the Alps on elephants
to sack Italy, we’ll visit the majestic ruins of the Roman republican period, and see the amazing
temple of Capitoline Jupiter as it looked when it was completed – thanks to amazing virtual
reconstruction..

the Romans.[...]


The eastern Mediterranean was in turmoil, not the world.

I hate it when the marketing people come up this kind of BS.

... and the ["civilized"] world as westener people called it at a time consisted of?
Congratulations of making a issue from nothing!
That "BS" was made by people at the time that the film describes - Not "marketing people".
You would even be less wrong by blaming the Romans for usage of the term "world", but nooooo...

Sorry, did I hit a nerve, are you working in marketing?

Anyway, it's still BS. Nothing in the blurb points to that statement being made from a Roman point
of view. Although, why stop there? Since every person is essentially the center of their own private
universe, let's just rephrase the whole thing. New POV: some random Roman dude.
"In the 3rd century B.C., the universe was in turmoil due to Hannibal’s war with the Romans."
