Zama

the name of several ancient cities in N Africa, including the one near the site of Scipio's decisive defeat of Hannibal (202 bc)

Zama

an ancient city in North Africa (120 km southwest of Carthage in the region of modern El Kef), near which the Roman army of Scipio Africanus destroyed the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal on Oct. 19, 202 B.C. Both armies numbered 35,000–40,000 men. The defection of the eastern Numidian King Masinissa to the Roman side before the battle played a decisive role in the victory: this gave the Romans an overwhelming superiority in cavalry forces, which after destroying the Carthaginian cavalry struck a blow in the rear of the Carthaginian main forces. The battle of Zama decided the Second Punic War in Rome’s favor.
