Listen "Scipio Africanus"
Episode Synopsis
The dust of North Africa still whispers the story. It was October 19, 202 BCE, and two men faced each other across the plains of Zama. On one side, Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian who had crossed the Alps with elephants and fury. On the other, Scipio Africanus, the Roman who had learned from every one of Hannibal’s lessons and turned them against him. The Battle of Zama ended seventeen years of brutal war and decided who would rule the world. It was the clash of two minds, two nations, and two visions of power. Hannibal fought for survival. Scipio fought for destiny. When the dust settled, Rome stood tall, and Carthage began its long fall into memory. This was not just the end of a war. It was the birth of empire. And it all began in the red dust of Zama.
