Battle of Ilipa
The Battle of Ilipa was arguably Scipio Africanus’s most brilliant victory in his military career during the Second Punic War. Though it may not seem to be as original as Hannibal’s tactic in Cannae, Scipio's pre-battle maneuver and his Reverse Cannae formation was still a culmination of his tactical ability, in which he forever broke the Carthaginian hold in Spain, thus denying any further land invasion into Italy and a rich base for the Barca Dynasty both in silver and manpower.
