Scipio Africanus beat the Carthaginians in Nova Cartago, Baecula, Ilipa, Utica, Campi Magni and Zama. Pretty impressive if one takes into account how the Italian campaign had unfolded from the beginning.

Is Scipio the stealth greatest general of antiquity? Greater than Alexander, even?

Greater than Napoleon.
It's even a book.

>>2565120
No. Alexander orchestrated the rise of an Empire. Scipio helped his survive

Definitely not. Romans liked to make up stories like this.
