Summary/Abstract: In his work Epitome historiarum, John Zonaras, a twelfthcentury Byzantine chronicler, presents the battle of Cannae of 216 B.C. Relying probably on fragments of Cassius Dion’s text which are lost today, he depicts the quite unusual image of a griefstricken Hannibal. This article contains a commentary and translation of Zonaras’ version of this part of his history of the Second Punic War.
