Abstract
In the ecphrasis of Hannibal's shield in Punica 2.403–452 allusions to Vergil's ethnographical excursus on Libya in Georgics 3.339–348 and the Laudes Italiae (G. 2.118–176) subvert the ostensibly idyllic picture of the Punic countryside, thus reinforcing the dichotomy between the perspectives of the internal viewer, Hannibal, and the Roman narrator.
