Years: 206BCE - 206BCE

Scipio, after winning over a number of Hispanian chiefs (namely Indibilis and Mandonius), achieves a decisive victory in 206 BCE over the full Carthaginian levy at Ilipa (now the city of Alcalá del Río, near Hispalis, now called Seville), which results in the evacuation of Hispania by the Punic commanders.

After his rapid success in conquering Hispania, and with the idea of striking a blow at Carthage in Africa, Scipio pays a short visit to the Numidian princes Syphax and Massinissa.
