Was Hannibal defeated at Zama?
Unlike the previous battles of the second Punic War, where the Carthaginian cavalry greatly outnumbered the Roman cavalry (it made up 2/3 of Carthaginian army while the Roman cavalry accounted for only 1/3) at Zama the Roman cavalry was larger (6,000 versus 4,000). Scipio Africanus (the Roman commander) had the support of the Numidian cavalry (from Algeria, next door to Carthage) which defected from the Carthaginians to the Romans. Scipio Africanus arranged gaps between the lines of its heavy infantry which acted as lanes through which the Carthaginian war elephants could pass without harming the Roman soldiers and had them hidden with the light infantry. Hannibal set his elephants and light infantry against the Romans. Scipio ordered his cavalry to blow horns to frighten the elephants. Some of them turned back towards the Carthaginian left wing and threw it into disarray. Scipio got his cavalry to attack this wing. The other elephants were directed towards the gaps and were taken to the rear of the Roman infantry, which then closed its ranks. The Carthaginian cavalry lured the Roman cavalry into chasing them to take them away from the battlefield so that they would not attack the Carthaginian rear. The Roman left wing attacked the Carthaginian right wing and Scipio marched the centre towards the Carthaginian one. Hannibal kept his third line (composed of veterans from the campaign in Italy) as reserve. The Romans first and second line had the better over their Carthaginian equivalents. There was a pause and both armies regrouped. Scipio, who was waiting for the return of his cavalry, delayed the resumption of the battle. When it resumed it was a stalemate. However, in the meantime the Roman cavalry had routed the Carthaginian one. Then it returned to the battle and attacked the rear of the Carthaginian infantry, which was encircled and slaughtered. 20,000 Carthaginians died and 20,000 were taken as prisoners. The Romans only lost 2,500 men.
What features of the land make a culture easy to attack?
A "culture" is an abstract concept relating to art, language and a way of living. As such it is not sensible to link culture to land features or war. It is people that wage war and features of the land would be an important consideration to the generals when planning the best ground to defend or perhaps from where to attack.
What were the roles of the Romans in the 2 punic war?
The roles of the Romans in the Second Punic War were both that of the defenders and attackers. In the first phase Hannibal, the Carthaginian general, invaded Italy and the Romans had to defend both Italy and themselves. The war was also fought in Spain, where the Romans were attackers. The war started with Hannibal's attack on a Spanish city which was an ally of Rome. After failed negotiations, Rome had to declare war on the Carthaginians because of her commitment to protect her allies. She sent an expedition to Spain which was defeated. A second expedition was victorious and the Romans took over the Carthaginian possessions in southern Spain. In the final phase of the war Rome sent an expedition to Tunisia, which is where Carthage was, attacked the Carthaginians and won the war.
