Scipio and the Carthaginians

In 206 BC, the two sides met near Olympia. Outnumbering the Romans by a sizable margin, the Carthaginians were confident they could beat the so far undefeated Scipio. But the Roman general took a page from Hannibal's playbook and employed a clever trick that turned a long shot win into an easy victory. In 208 BC, Scipio caught up to Hasdruel and fought a running battle against the Carthaginian in the middle of Spain. He then managed to slip away and lead his army northwest to the Atlantic coast.
