"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.
