Following the 101 primer,I will now answer some follow-up questions.


Does anybody know why Hannibal didn't march on Rome when he could? And also exactly under what circumstances did Hannibal and Scipio die the same year, were they in completely different places fighting other people or..?

( WE JUST DON'T KNOW )

Why did Scipio's relationship with Rome get sour?

( Delenda Carthago est! )

How come Scipio and Hannibal didn't cross paths in that last war of theirs?

Could you tell us more about Hannibal's family? Like, his father got a kingdom in Spain?

Also, what do you think the powers that be in Carthage think was going to happen with Rome? In not helping Hannibal there, they passed up on an opportunity to storm Rome and possibly crush their enemy. Were they that certain of their ultimate victory in the conflict? Was it just unthinkable to them that Rome would win?
