Damn.

Ok then but i have to disagree on one thing. I think scipio is better than hannibal brcause hannibal lucked out a few times while scipio was a tactical genius.

weren't there two Scipios?

I mean the one who led the spanish campaign

Against carthage

that's the Second Punic War then, right?

because AFAIK during the third one Roman commander's name was Scipio too

SCIPIOS DAD

The original Scipio

Who fought Hannibal's dad

Was killed by Hannibal

So Scipio took over

And asked for a volunteer army

As the Roman Republic was scared shitless by Hannibal

So Scipio took his army to the most dangerous place in the war,

Spain

Where the Barcid family had set up their estate

And he kicked out the Carthaginians from there

Then he traveled down to Afrika

Where he kicked the Carthaginians asses there

And thus became Scipio Afrikanus

Then Scipios son

Invaded Carthage

And leveled the city

And to show Rome's might, they literally deconstructed the hill that the city was on.

They fucking torn down the entire hill

And the city

so there were THREE Scipios?

Yes

didn't know that

But Afrikanus, is the best.t

Roman families take the first name

So Scipio family, all boys in it are called Scipio

And then there's the title

Scipio Afrikanus was a tactical god

Who fucked the Carthaginians

And saved Rome.

Oh

Carthage came back tho

the Romans rebuilt it

and it was pretty thriving
