Hannibal, driven by a desire for revenge, leads his army, including his iconic elephants, in a march on Rome after crossing the Alps. He captures Sylvia, a Roman Senator's niece, but instead of holding her captive, he shows her his army and sets her free, hoping she will report back to his enemies.
