Hannibal Barca History

The Barca family heritage of wine making can be traced for over 2,000 years in Italy and Europe, since the days of the Roman empire (before Christ). The Barca name and history is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, in the history of civilization; the great Roman warrior, Hannibal Barca, rode his elephants over the Alps into Italy in 250 B.C., in pursuit of conquering the Roman Empire. The Barca name has never been altered in lettering since these early times of Roman civilization.

One of Hannibal Barca's ancestor's was Carthage Barca, a great general of which the city of Carthage is named after. Carthage Barca along with his sons started the great Carthage nation in their era during a time in which Hannibal Barca tried to conquer the Roman Empire in 250 B.C. He attacked the Roman Empire with his small Subera army through the famous Punic wars. These wars became famous as documented in books and historical events, movies and autobiographies. They have also been featured in today's history channels and now on the internet. (see video exerpts below)

Hannibal Barca's war tactics and strategies were learned by several new nations. He believed in One God Almighty, not several gods like the Roman Empire. At that time several gods were common for certain different leaders, however Hannibal Barca only believed in God Almighty, just like the Jewish religious faith. After Hannibal Barca died as he chose to do, the Roman Empire under Julius Ceasar crushed the Carthage nation and depleted the cities and populations of 500,000 people. His great writings and libraries in Carthage, and in Barcelona, Spain were named after him. In several other cities writings, books and even motion pictures were made about this great man.

Hannibal Barca was not only one of the world's greatest leaders, but he was also a great wine producer, selling wines and inventing seeveral wines and blends of wines. He went through Spain and Italy growing vineyards, and selling grapes and wines to Greece, Spain, the Roman Empire and to his closest neighbors as well as Malta, a smaller island between Carthage, which was on the Northern tip of Africa and right next to malta and Sicily.

Hannibal Barca loved elephants of which he raised and trained. He then used them in his army as he rode over the Alps to conquer the Roman Empire. He was a great leader and general who was involved in four Punic wars against the Romans.

As he got older in life, he lived near Palermo in Sicily where he died when the Romans finally came after him. He had a poison ring in his finger which he carried, of which he drank the ring of poison to die. He left a legacy of world history as a great general, warrior and leader for governmental affairs.
