A 2,200-year-old bone unearthed in Spain could be from one of Hannibal's war elephants used during the Second Punic War, according to a new study.
The baseball-sized relic, found near the southern Spanish city of Córdoba, could be the only direct evidence of the Carthaginian general's war elephants. The findings are detailed in the February issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports.
