During the 3rd century BCE, Carthage endured a devastating naval defeat by the Roman Republic after the First Punic War. Hamilcar, the Carthaginian army general, was compelled to accept a humiliating peace treaty. Meanwhile, his son Hannibal Barca—a remarkably gifted six-year-old who showed little emotion and possessed extraordinary genius—was prophesied by his people as the destined conqueror of Rome. Years pass, and an adult Hannibal leads a force of 50,000 into Hispania—a peninsula under Rome's protection—igniting the Second Punic War. The Roman senate is baffled, believing their opponents have little chance of success; however, the young and prodigious Publius Cornelius Scipio swiftly recognizes the danger posed by the skilled Carthaginian commander. In response to Hannibal's invasion, Scipio assembles a Roman army of 100,000, preparing for a decisive confrontation. Based on ancient historical events, Ad Astra: Scipio to Hannibal follows two extraordinary military leaders and a battle that could determine the fate of their empires.
