HANNIBAL PLANS TO ENTER ITALY |
Hannibal' s plan was to weaken the Romans superior manpower by persuading her Italian allies to defect, leaving Rome vulnerable. But since the Carthaginian general made it clear that he would not harm any allies stayed loyal to Rome . The allies exercised the better part of valor and chose the safest course of action, staying loyal to Rome.
After disastrous Roman losses at the River Trebbia. The general Fabius Maximus, nicknamed the " Delayer", believed that Rome could not defeat Hannibal in pitched battle, and advised a strategy of non-confrontation hoping that Hannibal would exhaust his supp lies and go home. This resulted in Fabius' nickname "The Shield of Rome."
The Romans launched an invasion of Syracuse by sea. Scipio Africanus persuaded the Senate to let him lead an assault on Africa . Fabius Maximus prevented any funds being made available by the Senate . but Scipio paid for the expedition himself.
Scipio turned Hannibal's famous strategy. the "'ring of steel" against the Carthaginian. Scipio had also made provisions to deflect the terrifying elephant
dlarge. Instead of presenting a mass front, the Roman soldiers lined up in rows,allowing the elephants to pass down the aisles between them.
After their defeat at Zama in 202, the Carthaginians surrendered their navy, evacuate Spain , became a dependent of Rome, and were fined 10.000 talents to be paid over a period of 50 years. The Third Punic War took place because of two main factors. the ceaseless agitation of Cato the Elder against Carthage. and the need for young patrician men to acquire a military reputation .
The Carthaginians were provoked by their neighbors the Numidians into attacking . Since this was a violation of the treaty provision wherein the Carthaginians could not bear arms. the Romans declared war on Carthage. Carthage instantly surrendered until hearing the Roman terms, which included relocating their entire city ten miles inland.
