While the comparisons are not identical, it is interesting to consider some of the similarities between Hannibal Barca and Robert E Lee. Both men came from a martial tradition, both men won early victories against larger enemies, and both men were eventually defeated near their homes.

These parallels illustrate the importance of understanding ancient warfare. Just like the comparison between Lee and Hannibal, one could claim our Civil War to be an "American Punic War," of sorts.
