| Larry, you wouldnt believe what else happened! | |
|
| What Sara? You've got my attention. | |

|
| Sara has discovered that there was not just one Punic War, but there was a Second and Third War. |
|
| There was a Second Punic War which began in 218 B.C. Hannibal the greatest General of Spain gave teh Roman armies a run for their money. He was no match for them. | |
|
| Yeah Sara, I already know! He met his match in Africa. The name was Scipio, he was the Roman general. In 202 B.C. at the battle of Zama; brillant Scipio defeated Hannibal and his army. This way he ensured the supremacy of Greco-Roman civilization. There was a Third Punic War, but we will talk about that later. | |
