From the slaughter at Cannae to the showdown at Zama, this is the story of how Scipio Africanus rose from a teenage survivor of Rome’s darkest day to the only commander who could break Hannibal Barca.
In this episode on Romelin, we follow Scipio’s path through:
⚔️ the disaster of Cannae
🏛️ the loss of his father and uncle in Spain
🛡️ the lightning strike on New Carthage
🐘 the campaign that forced Hannibal back to Africa
🔥 the final battle of Zama, where Hannibal’s own tactics were turned against him
Hannibal shattered Roman armies at Trebia, Lake Trasimene, and Cannae. He seemed unbeatable. But Scipio studied every defeat, learned from every mistake, and spent years preparing for the one battle that would decide the fate of Rome and Carthage.
