		The Battle of Zama by Cornelis Cort, 1567
		The Battle of Zama, generally accepted to have been fought on or around October 19 of 202 BC, was the final and decisive battle of the Second Punic War.
		Zama marked a reversal from typical battles of the Second Punic War in that the Romans had less infantry, while the Carthaginians — by the defection of the Numidians — were outnumbered 6,000 to 3,000 in cavalry.

		Ticinus, battle of, November 218 BC Battle of the Second Punic War significant mainly as Hannibal's first battle against the Romans on Italian soil.
		This stage of the battle was quite evenly matched, but Hannibal had placed his Numidian cavalry on his flanks, ready to outflank the Romans, and when they finally did so the velites fled, allowing the Numidians to charge the rear of the Roman line, which collapsed in some chaos.
		While Hannibal prepared for what would have been the main battle, Scipio, possibly with his morale destroyed by his wound, decided to retreat south of the Po, and pulled back to the Roman colony at Placentia.

	Battle of the Trebia
		Trebia, battle of, late December 218 BC Hannibal's first major victory of the Second Punic War, the first of his three great battles.
		It is clear from this that Hannibal was expecting an immediate battle, and our sources tell us that Longus was also ready to fight, while only Scipio advised against battle, suggesting that to delay would weaken Hannibal and strength the Romans, although this might be an later invention.
		Hannibal formed his 20,000 heavy infantry into a thin line in the middle of his line, with the Gauls in the middle and the Libyans and Spanish on their flanks, with his 10,000 cavalry split evenly between the two wings, and of course Mago's 2,000 men hidden to the Roman rear.

	The Baldwin Project: Hannibal by Jacob Abbott
		His army, too, was much weakened by the battle of [210] Cannæ, and he seems to have thought it most prudent not to attempt the reduction of Rome until he should have received re-enforcements from home.
		It devolved upon Livius, therefore, to meet and give battle to Hasdrubal on his descent from the Alps, and to Nero to remain in the vicinity of Hannibal, to thwart his plans, oppose his progress, and, if possible, conquer and destroy him, while his colleague [221] prevented his receiving the expected re-enforcements from Spain.
		At the close of the day on which the battle was fought, forty thousand Carthaginians were dead and dying upon the ground, as many more were prisoners in the Roman camp, and the rest, in broken masses, were flying from the field in confusion and terror, on all the roads which led to Carthage.

		In fact, there was a large body of Gauls in the Roman camp, who were fighting under Scipio at the battle of Ticinus, who deserted his standard immediately afterward, and cane over in a mass to Hannibal.
		Sempronius attributed Scipio's reluctance to give battle to the dejection of mind and discouragement produced by his wound, or to a feeling of envy lest he, Sempronius, should have the honor of conquering the Carthaginians, while he himself was helpless in his tent.
		The poor elephants, that is, all that were left of them from previous battles and exposures, sank down under this intense cold and died.

		BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SCENARIO The Battle of the Ticinus in 218BC was a (mostly cavalry) encounter battle between the Romans and the Karthaginians.
		The battle is normally assumed to have occurred on the north shore, but Polybios actually implies the ambush was on the east or northeast side.
		From the speed of the battle starting, with the velites not having enough time to loose a volley, and the Numidians attacking the rear of the Roman line, some suspect that Scipio was caught in an ambush.

	Battles: The Battle of Trebia :: 0 A.D. :: Wildfire Games
		In the middle of the night before the battle Hannibal sent 1,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry under the command of his younger brother Mago into the woods, where they would lay in wait.
		Sempronius chased the Numidians across the river with his 4 legions of Romans and other Italians in standard 3-line formation with 4,000 cavalry on the flanks and 3,000 Cenomani (the Cenomani was a Gallic tribe) on the right flank.
		The battle was eventually joined when the Roman velites (skirmish infantry) engaged the Carthaginian light troops in battle, the velites had already used up most of their javelins beforehand and didn’t last very long before they were forced to fall back, the Carthaginian light infantry fell back at about the same time.

	A History of Europe, Chapter 3
		Scipio was wounded in the battle of Ticinus, and had to withdraw downstream and wait until reinforcements arrived.
		In 211 the Carthaginians managed to isolate and kill the Scipio brothers in two separate battles, and Rome lost everything it had gained south of the Ebro; only a quarrel among the three Carthaginian generals (Hasdrubal, his brother Mago and another Hasdrubal, the son of Gisgo), kept Carthage from advancing into Gaul at this point.
		This Scipio was only twenty-five years old, too young by law to be placed in command (the minimum age was 35), but his leadership skills were widely known; he was a survivor of the battles of Ticinus and Cannae, and that gave him a unique understanding of Hannibal's skill with tactics, troops and terrain.
