Manage episode 477127003 series 2815232
Between 212 and 210 BC, the Second Punic War enters a volatile phase, as triumph and catastrophe hit the Republic in rapid succession. Hannibal wins major victories, yet fails to stop Rome’s momentum as Syracuse falls and pressure mounts on Carthaginian allies. In a desperate bid to save Capua, Hannibal marches on Rome, but fails to divert the Legions from reasserting control across nearly every front. Until disaster strikes in Spain upon the deaths of Scipio’s father and uncle. Driving the young Scipio to politically outmaneuver the Senate and secure his first full military command in Hispania.
