" PAINT WITH U BURGESS PAINT & WALLPAPER STORE Corner 6th t Holly, Diagonally Across from the Post Office ' We Give S&H Green Stamps PHONE 2-9321 "Let Us Recommend a Reliable Paiater" has eluded historians. Now the warrior's route may have been found. A noted British scholar, Sir Gavin de Berr, director of Lon don's Natural History Museum, has remapped the great march by tracing clues of terrain, clim ate, even trees that Hannibal saw. They lead over ' a 9,600-foot pass on the French-Italian bord er, Col de la Traversette. This is a higher and more hazardous way than any previously thought possible for Carthage's army to have crossed. ' . Marching Through Gaul The 28-year-old general march ed from Spain across southern Gaul with 50,000 foot soldiers, 9,000 horsemen, and 30-odd Moroccan elephants. ie crossed the Rhone near the present French town of Aries, Sir Gavin says much farther south than historians previously thought. He tricked his elephants onto a raft by cov ering it with earth. Some pan icked and fell off, but then they waded, for the river there was wide; slow, and shallow. A Roman legion under Scripo, landing hastily at Massilia (now Marseille), arrived too late to prevent, the crossing. Hannibal marched north,, not to the Iser as long believed, but to the Aygues tributary. He turned east, fighting off hostile Gauls. From the ancient historians Livy and Polybius, Sir Gavin deduces that Hannibal followed the Durance River into Alpine foothills above today's town of Gap. Other Gauls guided him, only to attack later. The precise pass they led him to has remained a mystery. Livy and Polybius write that it was pine-covered, very high and dangerous, coat ed not only with new snow but hard-frozen snow from the win ter before. The plains of Italia could be seen from its crest. Only one Dass could meet all these conditions in 218 B. C, Sir Gavin determined by long scientific study the Col ' de la Traversette. Snow, Fire and Vinegar , Even today this remains wild, rugged country, frequented by smugglers, crossed by neither highway nor railroad. Monte Viso, rising 12,602 feet high just south of the pass, was cov ered with pines in that ancient age, for Virgil describes therm In October, when "the setting of the Pleiades" was approaching, it would have had the right snow conditions. Through "narrow, stony, and broken ways" Hannibal fought. Treacherous ambushes cost him many men and animals. Others fell from terrifying precipices. Rocks rolled down on them. De scending.across avalanche snow- fields, ' the soldier knew not where to- set his foot with safe ty." . . ; To . make passage for the elephants, ancient accounts tell, Hannibal's men "wrought into the hill itself" by first lighting a fire on one huge rock and then drenching it with vinegar. Long scoffed at, this was a recognized ancient methold of mining and attacking fortifica tion, Sir Gavin says. When Hannibal's army at last marched out upon the plain of Piedmont, it numbered 20,000 foot and 6,000 horse. It had taken them five months from Snain, but they had crossed the mountain wall.
