This first episode covers the defeat of the army of the great Carthaginian general Hannibal by Roman upstart Scipio in 202 BC. Hannibal’s hordes had ravaged Italy in the years beforehand, until the wily Scipio drew them back to north Africa and the killing plains of Zama.
The victory consolidated Rome’s position as the new bully boys on the block: recent discoveries in Andalucia reveal just how ruthless they were in their expansionist ambitions.
