What happened in rome in 206 BC?
Scipius Africanus defeated the Carthaginians at the battle of Ilipa in southern Spain during the second Punic War. This led to the end of Carthage's possessions in southern and eastern Spain, which had to be ceded to the Romans. It ended the possibility of sending further armies raised in Spain to Italy to support Hannibal's campaign there (as Hasdrubal, Hannibal's younger brother, had done one year earlier) and took away the wealth of silver mines. The battle is considered to be Scipio's most outstanding victory.

What happend in second punic war?
During the second punic war Hannibal invaded Italy from Spain whilst Rome invaded Spain from Italy. Hannibal proved himself to be the superior general in battles against the Romans, especially at the battle of Cannae (216BC) when he decisively defeated a major Roman army using strategic tactics. Romans then employed fabian tactics against Hannibal so he stayed mainly in the South of Rome where loyalty to Rome was not as strong and he had a better chance of garnering support. The Carthaginians held their position in Spain until P. Cornelius Scipio took a Roman army over there and captured New Carthage. Hannibal's brother then abandoned Spain to help Hannibal but was unsuccessful. So Hannibal basically just trashed the south of Italy until 202BC. In 205BC Scipio was elected consul and led a campaign in North Africa against the Carthaginians in 204BC. The Carthaginians sued for peace in 203BC but when Hannibal returned in 202BC he convinced them to break their peace agreements. Hannibal and Scipio faced each other in the battle of Zama and Hannibal was defeated. Scipio earned the nickname 'Africanus' for winning this battle.
How did the defeat of crthage by scipio propel rome to new heights?
With Scipio's victory at the Battle of Illerda is southern Spain, Rome took over the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain. This cut off Hannibal supplies from his domain in Spain and made his campaign in Italy hopeless. With his victory at the battle of Zama which ended the war, Carthage ceased to be power in the western Mediterranean and Rome took control of this part of this sea.
