Nuijt Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hello Dear UNRV people, I'm kinda new here, although I used to site for a couple of essays. This is my last year at school and I have to make an essay again. I decided to do about the Second Punic War. Since I'm still at school and not some University the books I have at the local library and school aren't that much of a help. So I use the internet alot. Unfortunatly this site is like the only site with good information about the Romans, and therefore the Second Punic War. I was wondering if some people here could provide me with extra sites that have nice information. And maybe some guide points. Like things that are really important in the Second Punic War, what I should not miss. Thanks in advance, Arjan Nuijten. P.s: sorry for my not perfect English, I'm Dutch. P.s: the sites may be in English and Dutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
