Great post, thanks. Interesting that Scipio was always viewed with hostility and suspicion by many of Rome’s elite. Rome did rather screw Carthage after the first Punic war, in my opinion, but then it is said that every Roman peace treaty always contained the provisions for them to reopen hostilities if they wished to.
