The battle of Zama, fought across North Africa around 202 BC, was
the final large-scale clash of arms between the world's two
greatest western powers of the time - Carthage and Rome. The
engagement ended the Second Punic War, waged from 218 until 201 BC.
The armies were led by two of the most famous commanders of all
time - the legendary Carthaginian general Hannibal, renowned for
crossing the Alps with his army into Italy, and the Roman general
Publius Cornelius Scipio, who along with his father was among the
defeated at the battle of Cannae in 216 BC. Drawing upon years of
research, author Mir Bahmanyar gives a detailed account of this
closing battle, analysing the tactics employed by each general and
the forces they had at their disposal. Stunning, specially
commissioned artwork brings to life the epic clash that saw
Hannibal defeated and Rome claim its spot as the principal
Mediterranean power.
