Quote:I know this fact. I am interested in modern researches on this theme.
I recently participated in a panel on the First Punic War. There is a fair amount of involvement.
There is a very recent edited volume on the Punic Wars
1) A Companion to the Punic Wars- Dexter Hoyos (Editor)- Wiley-Blackwell (2011)ISBN: 978-1-4051-7600-2
2) The First Punic War: A Military History - J. F. Lazenby (Author) - Stanford (1996) ISBN-13: 978-0804726740
As far as ancient authors, besides Polybios, see Diodorus Siculus, Appian's "Punic Wars" - both have a lot of information that might be helpful.
Feel free to drop me a message if there is more info you would like.
