Sorry if this is a derail but I did see the "other" in the thread title and there wasn't a thread specifically for Meso-American/Pre-columbian history

Does anyone happen to know if Olmec architecture/art specifically has been found in Mayan ruins? Either direct influences or taken from their civilization and reappropriated

Could Hannibal have plausibly conquered Rome had he gotten more reinforcements from Carthage?

I forget which cities exactly, but Hannibal did turn Italian cities to his side, were there ever any consequences for those that did after he was gone?

On the subject
Of the Spanish campaign what can be said of the government/society in Iberia? Everything I read tends to gloss over Spain as if it's just a land grab between Carthage and Rome. I know a lot of Spanish mercenaries joined hannibal and a lot of them resisted. Same is true of Rome. Was it just a matter of Spaniards seeing both as two sides of a conquering coin

Any good writeups on ancient egypt, like AAAANCIENT pre ptolemaic egypt vs subsaharan pyramid Africa?

The only things I ever see are "we was kangs" memes which is like the new "lol black people" dog whistle

that and Rome Total War which was apparently anacronistic and described iirc as "like napoleonic troops fighting WWII"

Commodus supposedly took part in Gladiator games, obviously fixed, would he have actually killed anyone since even regular gladiator games didnt always end fatally

or would they just let him prance around like vince mcmahon a bit and then hit the floor

It depends on how much you believe the negative histories written about him. One story has him beating dwarfs and amputees to death while pretending to be a giant.

yeah, sounds like something Vince would do

I'm not familiar with ancient anti-personnel siege weapons past the Roman Scorpio, was there actually something like this in the medieval era?

was there any sense of what germanic tribes were up to during the Second Punic War, or were they just keeping to themselves?

Is there a reason Hannibal never allied with them?
