2.0 out of 5 stars Not so good video of a good topic, June 25, 2000

By A Customer

This video is interesting, but of a poor quality. The entire series uses the same number of men, and the same costumes that they use for the Greco-Persian wars, and the Pelopponesian wars. It also uses the same commentators, one of whom, has a speech impediment that makes him hard to understand; as well as an historical actor who tends to be melodramatic. Nevertheless, the storyline is clear enough and one can learn as much about the Punic wars as a High School student should know.

4.0 out of 5 stars Academically on the mark, September 23, 2002

By	Prof D "History 4 me" - See all my reviews

As a lecturer of undergraduate survey material, I try to find alternative methods for classroom instruction. While the
"acting" (granted, for the most part these were re-enactors) was a bit shaky, the HISTORICAL content was tremendous. My combination of college freshmen and high schoolers are able to comprehend the course of events.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for Beginers, August 10, 2000

By	Shawn Overton (South Roxana, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews

This is a great film for people who are interested or just trying to get the jist of the Punic Wars. Although the re-enactments are not good the historical content is excellent.
