EmmaThe Battle of Zama wasn’t caused by a single event, but rather the culmination of the Second Punic War, a long-standing conflict between Rome and Carthage. Here’s a breakdown of the lead-up to the battle:
Competing Interests: Carthage and Rome clashed over control of the Mediterranean for decades [Second Punic War].
Hannibal’s Invasion: In 218 BCE, Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca famously crossed the Alps and invaded mainland Italy, sparking the Second Punic War.
Stalemate and Scipio’s Rise: The war dragged on for over 15 years with victories and defeats on both sides. Roman general Scipio Africanus emerged as a key figure, driving the Carthaginians out of Iberia (modern Spain and Portugal).
Negotiations Fail: With the war shifting in Rome’s favor, peace negotiations were attempted. However, the arrival of Hannibal from Italy bolstered Carthaginian resolve, leading them to reject the Roman peace treaty.
Decisive Battle: With negotiations broken down, both sides met for a final confrontation at Zama in 202 BCE. The battle itself was a decisive Roman victory, effectively ending the war and Carthaginian dominance in the region.
