Great question,<br>
<br>
Although unrealistic it is tempting to think about. If Rome was not so hell bent on pursuing Hannibal after the war, it might have lead to something different. I refer you to the 2nd exchange that Scipio had with Hannibal in B.H. Liddell Hart's biography of Scipio..when Scipio was sent to Carthage to find out if Antiochus was attempting to instigate a rebellion.<br>
