Faustina was the daughter of consul Marcus Annius Verus and Rupilia Faustina ( a half-sister to Roman Empress Vibia Sabina ).

Sources for events after this date are extremely scarce, but a tradition, reported as early as the mid-6th century by a British priest named Gildas, records that the British sent for help against the barbarians to Aetius, a Roman consul, probably in the late 440s.

Other famous victims are Philip II of Macedon ( 336 BC ), the father of Alexander the Great, and Roman consul Julius Caesar ( 44 BC ).

The same year, they defeated another Roman army under the consul Gaius Cassius Longinus, who was killed at the Battle of Burdigala ( modern day Bordeaux ).

The Roman commanders, the proconsul Quintus Servilius Caepio and the consul Gnaeus Mallius Maximus, hindered Roman coordination and so the Cimbri succeeded in first defeating the legate Marcus Aurelius Scaurus and later inflicted a devastating defeat on Caepio and Maximus at the Battle of Arausio.

Desperate measures were taken: contrary to the Roman constitution, Gaius Marius, who had defeated Jugurtha, was elected consul and supreme commander for five years in a row ( 104-100 BC ).

However, the Laudatio Turiae, the longest known Ancient Roman epitaph exceeds almost all of these at 180 lines ; it celebrates the virtues of a wife, probably of a consul.

Perhaps in response to Hamilcar's raids, Rome did build another fleet paid for with donations from wealthy citizens and it was that fleet which rendered the Carthaginian success in Sicily futile, as the stalemate Hamilcar produced in Sicily became irrelevant following the Roman naval victory at the Battle of the Aegates Islands in 241 BC, where the new Roman fleet under consul Gaius Lutatius Catulus was victorious over an undermanned and hastily built Carthaginian fleet.

The tribes began a joint invasion of Gaul, including the Roman Provincia Narbonensis, which led to the Tigurini ’ s victory over a Roman army under L. Cassius Longinus near Agendicum in 107 BC, in which the consul was killed.

: When, after the action had thus occurred, his own men returned to each general, Scipio could adopt no fixed plan of proceeding, except that he should form his measures from the plans and undertakings of the enemy: and Hannibal, uncertain whether he should pursue the march he had commenced into Italy, or fight with the Roman army which had first presented itself, the arrival of ambassadors from the Boii, and of a petty prince called Magalus, diverted from an immediate engagement ; who, declaring that they would be the guides of his journey and the companions of his dangers, gave it as their opinion, that Italy ought to be attacked with the entire force of the war, his strength having been nowhere previously impaired.

Scipio planned to take Roman forces to Carthage itself and force Hannibal to return to Africa to defend the city.

Fabius wished to ensure that sufficient forces remained to defend Roman territory if Scipio was defeated.

Fabius died in 203 BC, shortly after Hannibal's army left Italy, but before he could see the eventual Roman victory over Hannibal at the Battle of Zama won by Scipio.

In the aftermath of Cannae, Scipio Africanus crucified Roman deserters and had non-Roman deserters thrown to the beasts.

Hannibal occupied much of Italy for 15 years, but a Roman counter-invasion of North Africa forced him to return to Carthage, where he was decisively defeated by Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama.

Publius Cornelius Scipio, the consul who commanded the Roman force sent to intercept Hannibal, and Scipio Africanus ' father, had not expected Hannibal to make an attempt to cross the Alps, since the Romans were prepared to fight the war in Iberia.

In Hispania, a young Roman commander, Publius Cornelius Scipio ( later to be given the agnomen Africanus because of his feats during this war ), eventually defeated the larger but divided Carthaginian forces under Hasdrubal and two other Carthaginian generals.

He became a close friend of the Roman military commander Scipio Aemilianus, accompanying the general to Hispania and Africa.

It has long been acknowledged that Polybius's writings are prone to a certain hagiographic tone when writing of his friends, such as Scipio, and subject to a vindictive tone when detailing the exploits of his enemies, such as Callicrates, the Achaean statesman responsible for his Roman exile.

In the meantime in Iberia, which served as the main source of manpower for the Carthaginian army, a second Roman expedition under Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Major took New Carthage by assault and ended Carthaginian rule over Iberia in the battle of Ilipa.

The final showdown was the battle of Zama in Africa between Scipio Africanus and Hannibal, resulting in the latter's defeat and the imposition of harsh peace conditions on Carthage, which ceased to be a major power and became a Roman client-state.

The first Roman expedition to Iberia was unable to bring the Carthaginian troops in the hinterland of Massalia to a pitched battle, so it continued on its way to northern Iberia under Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Calvus, a move which proved decisive for the outcome of the war.
