It is known that the victory that Scipio the Elder won over Hannibal marked the decline of Carthage and marked the beginning of Rome's ascent to the pinnacle of power and power. Scipio the Elder, as a commander, is in no way inferior to Alexander the Great and Guy Julius Caesar, and as a person, perhaps, even higher than them. Having defeated Hannibal, he did not demand his head and did not destroy Carthage. He did not avenge his father's murderers, and one of them, the Numidian king Masinissa, became his devoted friend. He had no prejudice. He loved then already weak Greece and admired its culture, which was not to the face of the Roman of his era. He could gain unlimited power over Rome, but did not want power.
