Controversial for centuries, Hannibal's route over the Alps was the subject of an extended scholarly dispute between William John Law (1786-1869) and Robert Ellis (1820-85). This two-volume 1866 publication, Law's major contribution to the debate, examines several theories and the accounts of Polybius and Livy.
