I see a lot of people have named Hannibal's War by J.F. Lazenby already... I second the motion.
A good one for your coffee table is Battles of the Ancient World by Kelly DeVries, Phyllis Jestice, Martin Dougherty, Rob S. Rice and Ian Dickie. Not the most intense reading, and more for a general audience than an enthusiast, but it has a lot of detailed photographs and diagrams.

The same authors did a Medieval World edition too.
