Why was Hannibal so close of defeating Rome leaving from nowadays Cartagena? Well, mainly on account of this hillock (Pic 1) that maybe you have spotted a thousand times. Legend has it that the hillock, locally known as ‘Cabezo Rajao’, had a mining shaft providing ancient Carthaginians with100 kilograms of silver daily. Thus, Hannibal was capable of putting up an army consisting of 90.000 soliders, 20.000 riders and 43 elephants with which he chose to attack Rome… crossing the Alps in Winter (Pic 2).
