Read the full account

Harvard’s Punic-War volumes are completed industrial-cultural products. The dated start cluster is the 1920s Loeb. He did not run a press.

Context

Split school-cult of Cannae. This stores the edition-factory.

Hannibal is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

What the sources establish

Not established: a unique Factrail-original body count, or a recovered 216 BCE civil-registry file.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here. Confidence is stated on the impact path.
