Siege of Utica
From Warlike
Q4872636
The siege of Utica took place from 204 to 201 BC when a Roman army under Publius Cornelius Scipio attempted to seize the port to use as a secure base from which to defeat the Carthaginian Empire in its North African homeland. The First Punic War was fought between Carthage and Rome for 23 years, from 264 to 241 BC. After a 23-year interbellum, war broke out again in 218 BC as the Second Punic War. After a further 13 years of war the Roman general Scipio, who had recently expelled the Carthaginians from Iberia, was assigned to Sicily with the intention of invading the Carthaginian homeland in North Africa.
