Ok, if you don't like videos, my next hint is textual: He was born in Africa, but died in Asia. (I choose this colour, because blue is always a link for me)

I am not sure if I can answer this question with yes or no?
Of course, he had some kind of religion. Though, I would not regard him as very religious.

Yes (among others).
He was a high statesman in his home country.

No.
He is shortly mentioned in a novel by Gustave Flaubert.

Thanks
. I delved much into the histoy of Carthage, that's how I came across the novel by Flaubert. I have to admit I only read small parts of it. I did not much like what I read, e.g. that Hannibal survived his childhood only by a false trick. Flaubert gives the impression of being a neutral witness, but in fact he uses underlying subcodes, which I probably don't like.
Back to the game: did she die before 1900?
