Hannibal in Bithynia is a play written by Henry Gally Knight in 1839. The play is set in ancient Rome and follows the story of Hannibal, a Carthaginian general who is exiled to Bithynia after his defeat in the Second Punic War. In Bithynia, Hannibal is taken in by King Prusias, who is initially hospitable but later turns against him under pressure from the Romans. The play explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the consequences of war. It also delves into the complex relationships between the Roman Empire and its conquered territories. The dialogue is written in blank verse and features a range of characters, including Hannibal, King Prusias, and various Roman officials. Overall, Hannibal in Bithynia is a thought-provoking play that sheds light on the historical and political context of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
