Publius Cornelius Scipio Scipio’s first successes came in Spain, where he drove out the Carhaginians (210-205 B.C.) and established his reputation as a charismatic leader and a general of the caliber of Hannibal. Given the opportunity to invade Africa, he forced Hannibal’s withdrawal from Italy and then defeated him in a pitch battle at Zuma in 202 B.C., when for the first time Romans achieved cavalry superiority in the field. (Nagle, pp. 289-290.)
