		In late 212 BC Hasdrubal acted with imagination and iniative, and with timely cooperation from Mago Barca and Hasdrubal Gisco, completely routed his opponents at the Battle of the Upper Baetis, destroying the majority of the Roman army in Spain and killing both the Scipios.
		Hasdrubal was defeated by Scipio at the Battle of Baecula, but managed to retreat with 2/3 of his army intact.
		Hasdrubal himself fell in the fight; his head was cut off and thrown into Hannibal's camp as a sign of his utter defeat, in stark contrast of Hannibal's treatment of the bodies of fallen Roman Consuls.
