Zama

Scene of the famous battle (202 BC) with a victory of the Romans led by Scipio Africanus over the Carthaginians commanded by Hannibal. It was the last battle of the Second Punic War. The battle took place at a site identified by the Roman historian Livy as Naraggara (now Saqiyat Sidi Yusuf, Tunisia). The name Zama was given to the site (which modern historians have never really identified) by the Roman historian Cornelius Nepos about 150 years after the battle.

Carthage had no choice but to accept Scipio's peace terms whereby it gave up Spain to Rome, surrendered its warships, and began paying a 10,000 talents within 50-year indemnity to Rome. Scipio was awarded the surname Africanus in tribute of his victory. Hannibal escaped from the battle and soon returned to Carthage.
