The Battle of Zama, showing Hannibal's forces clashing with Scipio's legions, with Numidian cavalry fighting for Hannibal. Style: Photograph. This image depicts a pivotal moment in an alternate history scenario. AI generated.
What if Rome had crumbled at the Battle of Zama? Imagine a victorious Hannibal, Scipio's legions shattered, and the very idea of a Roman Empire extinguished before it began. A huge shift in global power, all because one figure maintained his allegiance.

#AdrianGoldsworthy is such an amazing scholar of antiquity. This #book covers the three #PunicWars between #Rome and #Carthage between 264 and 146 BCE. Goldsworthy's style is never dry laying out what was written by Publius, Livy and Appian along with their biases.
Highly recommended.
Check out a Punic coin representing the man who nearly conquered Rome. History’s greatest bad guy. #hannibal.

During the 1st Punic War, Rome and Carthage pumped out ships at a rate that probably wasn't reproduced until the Renaissance (???).
The number killed in battle wasn't reproduced until 20th century wars (I'm estimating).
