The account
Scipio beat Hannibal at last at Zama in 202 BC and broke the power of Carthage, but the exact field of the battle that decided the western world is still being searched for.
Leads, where the trail points now
- The field is at northern Tunisia, and arms, shot, and relics still come out of the ground there.
- Detecting or digging needs landowner or park permission, and any significant find should be recorded; many battlefields are protected.
- Work the documented account of The Battle of Zama to learn where the fighting, the camps, and the rout actually ran before you look.
