Sorry to see that people were trying to remove your post. Doesn't seem like there is anything too terribly controversial in your analysis. Not really sure I (or anyone for that matter) can flat out say you are right or wrong per se. I do like your reasoning behind the troop sizes but again, it is all kind of conjecture at this point. I am certain troop sizes for Zama have been discussed. Scipio seemed to be a merciful commander so I don't see how he handled the aftermath of Zama as anything out of character. It was truly a battle of the ages between super powers which shaped the world even today. Best regards!!!
