Conversation between Hannibal and Scipio before The Battle of Zama (202 BC) // As told by Livy

The year is 202 BC and the Roman Republic has spent seventeen years at war with the Carthaginians. Legendary general Hannibal, who at this point had been in Italy bringing Rome close to her knees for sixteen years, has been dragged back to Carthage in northern Africa to defend his homeland from a bold incursion by the Republic's remarkable young wunderkind General - Publius Cornelius Scipio, only at the beginning of a lifetime of empire moulding battles, before even he received the title 'Africanus'. On the eve of the battle with both armies waiting tensely for the conflict, the older man Hannibal calls Scipio to meet him and discuss terms of peace. Here the famous Roman historian Livy details that conversation; between, as he notes, "the peers of the the most famous kings and commanders the world had seen."
