0:00:06 > 0:00:12We're on ten-week journey cycling 3,500 kilometres
0:00:12 > 0:00:16on the trail of the great Carthaginian warrior Hannibal.
0:00:17 > 0:00:23Over 2,000 years ago, Hannibal marched his army from the south of Spain,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26across the Alps, and into Italy.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31He launched a spectacular assault on the heart of Roman power.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Hannibal's brothers, Hasdrubal and Mago, were his generals.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I'm Danny Wood. I'm a journalist.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45And, like Hannibal, I'm travelling with my brothers -
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Ben, a computer expert, and Sam, an archaeologist.
0:00:50 > 0:00:57Hannibal marched with over 100,000 soldiers, armed with swords, spears
0:00:57 > 0:00:59and 37 elephants.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We're armed with three bikes.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Three tents.- And a bike cam.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11So far, we've cycled over a thousand kilometres up
0:01:11 > 0:01:16the east coast of Spain, over the Pyrenees and into France.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19We're now well on our way to the Alps.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20But, before climbing any mountains,
0:01:20 > 0:01:25Hannibal and his vast army had another obstacle to cross -
0:01:25 > 0:01:27the river Rhone.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29So, we have to cross it, too.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Day 15 of our journey -
0:01:46 > 0:01:51around 1100 kilometres from Cartagena where our journey began,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54still nearly a thousand kilometres to Rome.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04We're deep into France now and, like Hannibal's invading army, we feel like foreigners here.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08CAR HORN BLARES
0:02:08 > 0:02:12The locals don't seem that pleased to see us.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15HORNS BLARE
0:02:15 > 0:02:19That's what we have to put up with. Did you see that?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21French impatience. Bonjour.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Sam, that was slightly more polite that time.- Definitely.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's not hard to be polite
0:02:28 > 0:02:30when you're in a car and people are on bikes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34But, unfortunately, that doesn't seem to happen very often in France.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37The Spanish were much nicer drivers.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50We're arriving in Arles.
0:02:50 > 0:02:57The city was used by the Greeks as a trading port from the 6th century BC.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00But this feels like a Roman city.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04It even has its own Coliseum.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Sam went to find out what it was like in Hannibal's day.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23We know that, in the Greek times, the town was named Theline.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26That, in Greek, means the "feeding one", the "giver of food"
0:03:26 > 0:03:31if you want. It means that it was a rich town.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32It was a huge town, a big one.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36We are thinking it was about 40 hectares,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39as big as Marseilles, the Greek town.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45And it huge place for trade between the north of Europe and the Mediterranean world.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- Gosh, so it was a very interesting town. Do we have any archaeological remains?- Yes, a bit.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Not a lot, because here we've got so much remains of the Roman times.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Maybe you'll have to dig up the amphitheatre to find out more about Hannibal's time?
0:03:59 > 0:04:05Oh! We'd like to in some small part, but we just can't destroy it!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14By this time, news of Hannibal's march had reached Rome.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19The Romans despatched an army to stop him.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24It was led by one of Rome's top generals, Publius Scipio.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27His warships put into port at Marseilles.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Scipio was planning to march into Spain to meet Hannibal's army.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37He had no idea that Hannibal had already crossed the Pyrenees into Gaul.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Nor that he was determined to cross the Alps.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45The Romans never dreamed that Hannibal would dare to strike at the heart of the Roman republic.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Hannibal knew the Romans would do anything to stop his attack on Rome.
0:04:48 > 0:04:54But he had no idea that Scipio and his legions were only a few days' march away. The race was on.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Hannibal knew he had to cross the Alps fast before the Romans found out what he was up to.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Surprise was his most powerful weapon.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'll race you.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Like Hannibal, we have an unforgiving schedule.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- So we've left Arles, and are making our way north.- Bonjour.
0:05:19 > 0:05:26It's easy cycling, but soon Hannibal had to cross the Rhone with his vast army and 37 elephants.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34It's hard as three brothers on bikes to convey the size
0:05:34 > 0:05:38of the 15km column of cavalry, livestock and elephants.
0:05:38 > 0:05:44It must have been like a small town on the move through this fertile countryside known as the Camargue.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46We know it's a bit of a bread basket.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49We've been riding through continuous vineyards until now.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50We're passing into different territory.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56We've seen lots of sunflowers which have already been harvested in the pastures around us.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59It was obviously a good place for Hannibal's troops to get easy supplies.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04There's a lot of good agricultural produce to be had for cyclists like us and for a big army.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14There's a centuries old debate about where exactly Hannibal led his men and animals across the river Rhone.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23The trick would have been to find a place where the river was shallow and the current slow.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24We're going to cross here.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29It's the ancient trading town of Beaucaire, which means beautiful stone.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Hannibal was a master strategist.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Since arriving in Gaul,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46he'd been currying favour with the local tribes.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50They now sold him boats for the crossing, as his troops amassed on the river bank.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Our tight budget means we haven't exactly showered the locals with gifts,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59but we've turned to the town's boat club for help.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Ben asked the club's director where he thought Hannibal might have crossed.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Can you tell us about the current here,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37and are there any dangerous sections of the Rhone?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13For our crossing, we've chosen a nice calm stretch of river,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16a branch known as the sleeping Rhone.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28So we're setting up our tents before it gets too dark and before the mozzies eat us.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31And tomorrow, we're using canoes to cross the Rhone,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35which is one of the forms of transport Hannibal would have used to get across.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I think we've got it a lot better than Hannibal did.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43He used to sleep in his cloak. We've got quite nice airbeds actually.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Of course it's funny to be sinking pegs into this earth which is probably the same earth that
0:08:48 > 0:08:50thousands of soldiers camped on thousands of years ago
0:08:51 > 0:08:54when they were about to cross this massive obstacle, the Rhone,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57which is the first big physical obstacle Hannibal had to cross.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02As we huddle round our mosquito-beating campfire,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06we can only imagine what Hannibal's men would have been doing.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09They would have probably been very drunk. That's my best guess.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I suppose his army would have had entertainment.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- There would have been singing, drinking, pigs roasting. - Yeah, maybe prostitutes.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18THEY LAUGH
0:09:29 > 0:09:32We stay just one night on the river bank.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Hannibal's army would have spent days going back and forth,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39transporting thousands of men and animals across the Rhone.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48The army was so big that they would have had to construct additional vessels from scratch.
0:09:48 > 0:09:55Hannibal's men would have hollowed out tree trunks to make canoes, and lashed logs together for rafts.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05The preparations along this river bank would have made a spectacular sight.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15But the crossing wasn't Hannibal's only challenge.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18He also had to deal with a hostile local tribe, the Volcae,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22notorious for their shield waving and demented screaming
0:10:22 > 0:10:23when going into battle.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26The Volcae were now ranged along the opposite bank of the river.
0:10:26 > 0:10:32They were determined to smash the intruders and loot the spoils from Hannibal's army.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Hannibal secretly sent some troops, led by his nephew, Hanno,
0:10:36 > 0:10:41to cross the Rhone upstream and make a surprise attack on the Volcae.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52So we send Ben off to cross upriver, like Hanno.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Hanno had a force of elite North African and Spanish soldiers with him.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12They marched up the river under cover of darkness to make their crossing undetected.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24It was an operation that would have required discipline and concentration.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I was bit naughty. I wasn't thinking about Hannibal or elephants.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I was thinking how nice it was to be alone.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Being alone was a great feeling.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48About the first time in about three weeks really.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54Having a few hours paddling on a river was just very nice.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Hanno's force made their way down the river bank.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05They then crept up behind the enemy camp,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08and waited for an early morning ambush.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Once in position, Hanno sent a smoke signal.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13He was ready for battle.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Hannibal's army started crossing the river to do battle.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40The Volcae were howling and chanting and brandishing their weapons on the other side.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46The Volcae had no idea they were about to be attacked on two fronts.
0:12:48 > 0:12:54Hannibal and his forces launched their assault on the Volcae from the river.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Hanno seized his chance.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58He and his troops launched the surprise attack.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01The Volcae scattered in total chaos.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13It was a textbook strategy for attack that's still used in military campaigns to this day.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19It's so nice to be doing something other than riding a bike.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24And paddling across the Rhone is a pretty nice thing to be doing,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27even if we're supposed to be attacking the Volcae.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35No artefacts have ever been dredged up to indicate where Hannibal crossed the Rhone with his men.
0:13:37 > 0:13:44- I'm stuck!- But I'm about to leave some evidence of our crossing for future archaeologists.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45I'm just looking for my Flip Flop.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50It disappeared somewhere into this mud with my foot. I don't think I'll find it.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55I think it will be consigned to the past with the men who would have sunk through here 2,000 years ago.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03With the Volcae defeated, Hannibal could now transport his 37 elephants over to the other side.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10As you can see, getting bikes across a river is a lot easier than getting elephants across.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Legend has it that the elephants crossed the Rhone on rafts.
0:14:22 > 0:14:28The ancient Greek historian Polybius writes that, as soon as the rafts were cut from their moorings,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30the elephants panicked and jumped into the river.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35Their drivers were thrown off and crushed or drowned.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48According to Polybius, the elephants then walked under water
0:14:48 > 0:14:51using their trunks as snorkels until they reached the shore.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57That sounds like an amazing scene.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00But there's one fact that Polybius clearly wasn't aware of.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Elephants can swim!
0:15:07 > 0:15:13More than 100 years after Polybius, the Roman historian Livy wrote his own account of Hannibal's journey.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17He entertains the idea that the elephants made it across by themselves.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Livy suggests that the elephant drivers would have aggravated a male elephant
0:15:20 > 0:15:22until it chased them into the water.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Elephant experts have confirmed that the herd instinct would have been to follow an angry male.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Once in the water, they'd all happily swum to the other side.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Hannibal's Rhone crossing has passed into legend.
0:15:41 > 0:15:48We may never know exactly how he did it, but we do know there were even greater obstacles to come.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Always planning ahead, Hannibal dispatched 500 of his Numidian
0:16:00 > 0:16:03cavalrymen into the territory east of the river.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07What they found was completely unexpected.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14The Numidians ran into a force of 300 of Scipio's cavalry.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17In the battle that followed, around half the Roman force was lost.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20But more than 200 Numidians were slaughtered.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24The surviving Numidians escaped and returned to Hannibal
0:16:24 > 0:16:27with the news that the Romans were after him.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Hannibal now had to decide -
0:16:29 > 0:16:30stand and fight?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Or march on to Italy?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Hannibal chose to press on to Rome.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Scipio now understood that Hannibal was planning
0:16:42 > 0:16:45to invade Rome via the Alps.
0:16:45 > 0:16:53He gave up the chase and headed home to Italy where he planned to ambush Hannibal on his arrival.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02We are on our way to Maillane, a sleepy Provencal village
0:17:02 > 0:17:06tucked away on this quiet country road near Avignon.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Deep beneath its streets, Maillane has a secret -
0:17:11 > 0:17:15a key to the mystery of Hannibal's route.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17We're off to see if we can find it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24It's said that in the late 18th century, a local farmer,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Barthelemy Daillan, was digging a cellar in one of these houses.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Amazingly, though, no-one seems to know which one it was
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Anyway, Daillan dug up some bones that turned out to be part of a 12-foot long elephant skeleton.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40He also found a huge elephant tooth, a molar!
0:17:40 > 0:17:45That not all. It's also said he found a copper medallion engraved with an elephant.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48He kept it and fixed it to the handle of his pickaxe.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52This is Rue du Geant,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Giant Street.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58It's said to be named in honour of the elephant unearthed here.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03We found two local historians who share our interest in Hannibal.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05They also happen to be brothers.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I ask them about Daillan's discovery.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Like almost everything connected with Hannibal, the pickaxe with the elephant medallion was lost.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02And nobody knows what happened to the elephant skeleton.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07It's said that Daillan's widow kept the elephant tooth until the day she died.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11But then, another tiny part of the Hannibal trail goes cold.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22What we do know about the next part of Hannibal's march on Rome is that he turned east
0:19:22 > 0:19:25for the most physically gruelling leg of his journey.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33We're beginning to see mountains,
0:19:33 > 0:19:36and something that will give us a taste of the struggle ahead -
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Mount Ventoux, known locally as The Giant.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43The Gauls believed that a mountain God lived at the top.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48And this nearly 2,000 metre climb is a notoriously gruelling section of the Tour de France.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Ventoux means windy. It's named for the powerful mistral wind that's been
0:19:53 > 0:19:56known to blow at speeds up to 200 miles an hour across its summit.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02We've decided to pit ourselves against The Giant, and each other,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04in a Wood Brothers mini-Tour de France.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07The view from the top is supposed to be spectacular!
0:20:12 > 0:20:17We're going to need a good night's sleep before we attempt the long climb to the summit.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25It's hard to race your brothers.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I mean, we're competitive in some things, but not in much really.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31The occasional tennis game maybe but,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33yeah, hard to know who's going to win.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34I think it really could go any way.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39It's taken me a long time to get used to being beaten by my younger brothers.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43And I probably am, I'm not sure.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I think we're all very competitive.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47My brothers think I'm the most competitive.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52But I have noticed in this light I'm looking a bit older than I think of myself.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54My grey hair seems to stand out.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00So I'm hoping I can stave off old age until I get up this hill.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I'm actually looking forward to the difficulty and
0:21:03 > 0:21:07putting myself in difficulty, and I'd quite happily come last.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I'm not fussed to be honest.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13But we'll all try our hardest and see what happens.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Hi, Sam.- Hi.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Pretty good. you're up first.- Yeah.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44We know all the professionals shave their legs, so today I'm becoming a professional.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49We're all quite anti-leg shaving.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Only because it doesn't improve the performance, so I'm testing out today
0:21:53 > 0:21:56whether it's going to help me climb Ventoux.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59The troublesome spot is behind the knee.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Hi.- Hi.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- Looks lovely. - Yeah, should be nice with coffee.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Sam's the strongest cyclist.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14That's what you keep saying, but I think that's the double bluff.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16It is the double bluff.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I've tried to reclaim my rightful place as older brother and best at everything.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- But I can never do it. - When did you lose that title?
0:22:23 > 0:22:28- When I was about 12.- I think probably in the first few kilometres I'll try and break you both.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I made secret preparations.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's pretty good.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38So you shaved your lower leg.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- You didn't shave the top bit though. - Yeah, well I didn't have time.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I only done one leg.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49So I'm a bit worried I'll be going round in circles due to aerodynamics.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- You look like a professional. - I'll be half a professional.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Have you ever shaved your legs before?- No. Have you?- No. - Have you, Danny?- I don't think so.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- You don't think so? - No, I'm sure I haven't. I don't think I would have.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Well, Nana always said I had nice legs, lovely legs.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05From that photo in the kilt, isn't it?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- I think Nana was a bit obsessed with kilts.- Yeah, and lovely legs!
0:23:09 > 0:23:11THEY LAUGH
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- To Ventoux. - Good luck.- Thank you.
0:23:18 > 0:23:25Now it just remains for us to locate our inner warriors and steel ourselves for the battle ahead.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34We each prepare for the race in our own unique way.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39So far on Hannibal's trail, we've been working very well together as a team.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Mending punctures together, setting up tents. Today, up Mont Ventoux, that may all change.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I suppose, to see myself lose to my brothers on TV,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50and everyone else in the world to see it,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52is a bit worrying, so I think I'd better win.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55So now, the gloves are off.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Good luck, gents.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15It beautiful Saturday morning as we set off, and it feels like half the country is also out for a ride.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26We've been on the road for nearly three weeks now,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29and covered about 1200 kilometres of Hannibal's journey.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34But this is the first time we've been really tested.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45It gives you renewed respect for the stamina of the Carthaginian soldiers.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15A very difficult middle part of the climb. It's got to be easier now.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Sam's very strong. He just left.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21And none of us could stay with him.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23We sort of split up all at the same time.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Not sure where Danny is. But hopefully not too far behind.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32In fact, I'm still about half an hour behind,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36and starting to wonder if I can make it to the top.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39It's constant 21 kilometre uphill climb.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57A victorious Sam crosses the finish line in an impressive two hours ten minutes.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Not much to say.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I'm stuffed.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Ben makes it about 20 minutes later. But he's having trouble.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Sam, Sam, Sam. Hammy, hammy, hammy.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Just drop it, drop it, drop it. Oh!
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Can we get off now? 'And my time is around two hours 40 minutes.'
0:26:34 > 0:26:36'But I'm not disappointed.'
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It's the toughest thing I've ever done.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Gosh.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47I think the prunes kept me going.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Honestly. Granny's favourite food.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56I just dug into my bag and stuffed them in my mouth. I'm just going to lay down.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04I kept stopping for cramp and hoping Danny would come round the corner just so I could say hello.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And he did eventually.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10And then we sort of leapfrogged each other as we got cramps.
0:27:23 > 0:27:29We've managed to conquer the Giant of Provence, and the view from the top is spectacular.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39There is a reward for all that suffering. It's one hour downhill freewheeling.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- That'll be a lot of fun. - Lead the way.
0:27:41 > 0:27:47Today's been tough, but this journey would have been much tougher for Hannibal and his army.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Yee-ha!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It makes you wonder what drove them on.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00It must have been Hannibal's obsession with bringing Rome to its knees.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14In the next programme - Hannibal gets cut off from his men.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19We try to work out which route he took across the Alps.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23And we catch sight of Italy where all roads lead to Rome.
