Finally he is recalled to Car- thage to meet Scipio, who defeats him at the battle Zama (202) and ends the war. Carthage remained independent, but was shorn of her naval power, compelled to pay a large indem- nity, and forced to get the consent of Rome for carrying on any war. Such was the rounding out of Hannibal's phe- nomenal military career, in which he had, aa he states it, "for thirty-six years been fighting the battles of his country. " C. Great Men. Of course the supremely Great Man of ...the time was the Carthaginian, Hannibal. About his military and also political genius there can be no question. Still he did not mediate the World-Spirit with his nation, he did not bring Carthage into line with the move- ment of civilization ; on the contrary he was negative to Europe's historic evolution, and sought to undo it, but really undid his own work, his city and himself. Borne was compelled by him to go ouside of Italy, and to associate all Mediterranean peoples. Again we are struck by the fact that Rome produced no Great Man in her greatest crisis.
