Spain Find Could Be First Physical Remnant of Hannibal's War Elephants
An Iron Age elephant bone found at Colina de los Quemados, Spain, dates to the era of the Second Punic War and could be the first physical relic of Hannibal’s war elephants, though the bone is degraded and species cannot be confirmed; researchers say the context fits Punic War battlefield activity, but alternative sources like Numidian elephants remain possible.
