April 201 BC — the Second Punic War
Chapter VII · Africa — Africa & the new order.
This month
- Masinissa's ancestral lands restored — The peace executes the ancestral-lands clause: Carthage's western marches pass to the united Numidia — the first bite of many Masinissa will take. (Polybius 15.18; Livy 30.44)
- PEACE — the war ends — Carthage keeps its city and loses its empire; five hundred warships burn in the gulf and the indemnity runs fifty years. (Polybius 15.18; Livy 30.37; 30.43)
