Book excerpt: The battle of Zama, fought across North Africa around 202 BC, was the final large-scale clash of arms between the world's two greatest western powers of the time – Carthage and Rome. The engagement ended the Second Punic War, waged from 218 until 201 BC. The armies were led by two of the most famous commanders of all time – the legendary Carthaginian general Hannibal, renowned for crossing the Alps with his army into Italy, and the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio, who along with his father was among the defeated at the battle of Cannae in 216 BC. Drawing upon years of research, author Mir Bahmanyar gives a detailed account of this closing battle, analysing the tactics employed by each general and the forces they had at their disposal. Stunning, specially commissioned artwork brings to life the epic clash that saw Hannibal defeated and Rome claim its spot as the principal Mediterranean power.

Book Synopsis Hannibal's Last Battle by : Brian Todd Carey

Download or read book Hannibal's Last Battle written by Brian Todd Carey. This book was released on 2007-10-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “crisply written, well researched . . . superb piece of scholarship about one of the most dramatic and decisive battles in the ancient world” (Journal of Military History). At Zama (in what is now Tunisia) in 202 BC, the armies of two great empires clashed: the Romans under Scipio Africanus and Carthaginians, led by Hannibal. Scipio’s forces would win a decisive, bloody victory that forever shifted the balance of power in the ancient world. Thereafter, Rome became the dominant civilization of the Mediterranean. Here, Brian Todd Carey recounts that battle and the grueling war that led up to it. He offers fascinating insight into the Carthaginian and Roman methods of waging war, their military organizations, equipment, and the tactics the armies employed. He also delivers an in-depth critical assessment of the contrasting qualities and leadership styles of Hannibal and Scipio, the two most celebrated commanders of their age. With vivid prose and detailed maps of the terrains of the time, Hannibal’s Last Battle is an essential text for fans of military history and students of the classical period.

Book excerpt: In Technique we will simulate, that better advised, Hannibal would have predicted the evolution of the training of the Roman army and in one of the decisive actions of his plan would not have wasted his elephants against the legionaries but instead employed them against the horses, still susceptible to the instinct to the fear of these. The Carthaginians will employ the reinforced oblique Jomini battle order on the attacking flank (as, although superior in quantity they were inferior in quality): the shock of the Carthaginian line will follow from the right wing with the elephants leading the cavalry Carthaginian against that of the Roman equites - less accustomed to elephants than the Numidians; continuing the infantry tug of war in the center; until the engagement of the Numid cavalry on the left.

Book Synopsis The Roman Army of the Punic Wars 264–146 BC by : Nic Fields

Download or read book The Roman Army of the Punic Wars 264–146 BC written by Nic Fields. This book was released on 2007-05-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the Second Punic War (218 - 201 BC), Rome's influence extended no further than the Alps, and the wars that it fought consisted of small-scale raids and cattle rustling, with perhaps the occasional battle between armies. Nevertheless, within a century the seeds of an empire had been sown in Iberia, Africa, and the Greek east, and the Roman Republican army became the most successful of its day, establishing standards of discipline, organization, and efficiency that set a bench mark for the later armies of Rome. With the evolution of the Roman Republic came the adoption of the Manipular legion, a formation taken from the hoplite phalanx and first used in mass deployment against the North African nation of Carthage, during the Punic Wars. In this book Nic Fields examines the evolution of the Roman army from its defeat at Cannae through to their final success at Zama which saw a small city-based force evolve into a Mediterranean powerhouse, demonstrating how and why it became the most highly organized, sophisticated force in the ancient world.
