Did I say it did? On the other hand there are multiple attestations to Hannibal's life and works, though I personally am not familiar enough with the man to comment. Letters from other historical figures, writings of his own perhaps. Things which, if they existed for the JC character, would be paraded as first-resort proof. There's a reason why belief in the character is wholly reliant on faith.
