Date: March 24th, 2018 9:10 PM Author: big infuriating gas station Interesting, thanks. I think you could make a similar case for Utica, but Zama does have Hannibal v. Scipio. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3928076&forum_id=2#35680298) |

Date: March 24th, 2018 11:02 PM Author: Maniacal stage boistinker Zama is imo a poor choice because although it was the final battle of the war, it wasn't a decisive "one way or the other" affair. If Scipio were crushed Carthage would still have lost the war; they simply would have secured a more favorable peace.
While an extremely important conflict the Second Punic War doesn't really have a single critical battle. For Rome's rise Asculum or Heraclea may be more important. |
