The struggle between Rome and Carthage. Fighting. Strategies. ELEPHANTS!

What Started ItWhat Started It The second war began because Carthage would not give in to Rome’s control. Rome had a peace treaty with Carthage but Hannibal broke it when he claimed Saguntum, Spain. Thus, the fighting began. Major BattlesMajor Battles The fighting between Carthage and Rome lasted from 220BC-201BC. Major fights include of the battle at Zama, Lake Trasimene, Trebia, and (most notably) Cannae. In the end the Carthaginians were not able to overtake Rome. Their numbers were too minimal and Fabius Maximus constantly kept harassed them.

During the period of the second war, Publius Cornelius Scipio (a.k.a. Scipio Africanus) and Fabius Maximus were two military leaders of Rome. The tactics of Fabius Maximus was constant harassment. He would continuously go after the Carthaginian troops giving them little to no time to recover. Also, because he kept allies safe they in return helped Rome. Scipio Africanus was the one that defeated Hannibal at the Battle of Zama in 202 B.C. which brought the end of the Second Punic War.

Hamlicar Bar passed on his great animosity towards Rome to his son, Hannibal. Hannibal himself was an extraordinary leader. He used cunning tactics to outwit the Roman troops.He used cunning tactics to outwit the Roman troops. His men in the front lines rode Elephants which overpowered enemies as well as defend men behind them.His men in the front lines rode Elephants which overpowered enemies as well as defend men behind them. In terms of size, the Carthaginian troops were inferior. But because of Hannibal’s decisive moves he could reduce the enemies numbers from 40,000 to 10,000 like in the case of Trebia.

Hannibal’s route to Rome was a difficult one by land. He worked his ways, crossing the Pyrenees, fought across southern France, and then overcame the Alps which was an amazing feat on it’s own. His most famous fight was at Cannae. The Roman consuls had decided to double their armies for the fight and it was lead by Fabius Maximus. Also, the terrain was flat which was different from all the other battles. However, Hannibal’s brilliant tactics cut Roman numbers from 70,000 to 10,000. Hannibal was defeated at Zama. Using his cavalry as a counterattack he was able to trap the Carthaginians between two groups of Roman soldiers with no escape.

The two armies meet. Rome is Blue. Carthage is Red. The elephants charge the Roman troops, dividing them and weakening their attacks. The Carthaginian cavalry is chased by the Roman cavalry. The Romans advance on the Carthaginians. Hannibal and his troops are trapped between the Romans. Hannibal looses to Rome’s superior numbers and Carthage finally looses power.
