Zama may refer to:
The Battle of Zama, fought around October 19, 202 BC, marked the end of the Second Punic War. A Roman army led by Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (Scipio), with crucial support from Numidian leader Masinissa, defeated a Carthaginian force led by the commander Hannibal, despite Hannibal possessing numerical superiority. This was because many in his army were recent conscripts, and the vaunted Numidian cavalry which Hannibal had employed with great success in Italy had by then switched sides to the Romans.
Scipio had conceived of a strategy to confuse and defeat Hannibal's war elephants, and then his force routed the Carthaginian infantry, thanks in part to superior Roman cavalry. Defeated on their home ground, the Carthaginian senate sued for peace, which was given to them–under humiliating terms–by the Roman Republic, which ended the 17-year war.
Crossing the Alps, Hannibal reached the Italian peninsula in 218 BC and won several major victories against the Roman armies. The Romans failed to defeat Hannibal or drive him from Italy, but following Scipio's decisive victory at the Battle of Ilipa in Spain in 206 BC, Iberia had been secured by the Romans. In 205 BC, Scipio returned to Rome, where he was elected consul with a unanimous vote. Scipio, now powerful enough, proposed to end the war by directly invading the Carthaginian home land. The Senate initially opposed this ambitious design of Scipio, persuaded by Fabius Maximus that the enterprise was far too hazardous. However, Scipio and his supporters eventually convinced the Senate to ratify the plan, and Scipio was given the requisite authority to attempt the invasion.
Generally, a battle is a combat in warfare between two or more parties.

In Search of Hannibal pre-order page: https://in-search-of-hannibal-a-graphic-novel.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders This is a monster of a video - possibly my longest ever. There is an idea that perhaps the Battle of Zama never happened, and it is an interesting starting point to talk about the use of elephants in ancient battles, and the tactics of the battle itself, and in my usual rambling way I manage to sidetrack myself and... oh dear. With a bit more planning, this could have been four or five shorter videos.
