#resources, north had too many. If it went the other way WW2 might have turned out very badly regardless of who won. Were buying time in a race against ourselves and so far we are still alive and that's what we want.
True bro but if they had moved their army towards D.C. I might have been game over.
I know after coming over the Alps with Oliphants and to win his first few battles to only sit around and not attack the walls of Rome was a futile move no doubt. What the hell was he thinking before he set out for Italy through Spain and France just to sit around waiting outside the walls of Rome.
Yeah I cant think of the consol;s name right now I had to many lol
Using his own tactics against him. Probably the greatest single action to ever come out of southern Italy ever or since. A whole content is named after Scipio Africanus. It's like 10k miles from South Africa to Carthage. It's all called Africa becuase of Scipio.
All leaders welcome here. Good or bad. How bout Cleopatra subduing Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony. Augustus didn't fall for it, too cleaver too bright.
scipio is not the one who followed him around Italy though.
Scipio was a lesser rank when Rome lost a battle to Hannibal on it's own soil. Something like 100k gold rings was collected by Hannibal's army from the dead bodies of Roman soldiers. Forgot what location the battle took place, but Rome got slapped and Scipio barley survived.
there were two consols who were dealing with Hannibal neirther would risk open battle but their delaying tactics worked Scipio was called from Spain to lead the battle at Zama.
