Battle of the Upper Baetis

Descripción

The Battle of the Upper Baetis was fought in 211 BC between a Carthaginian force led by Hasdrubal Barca and a Roman force led by Publius Cornelius Scipio and his brother Gnaeus. The immediate result was a Carthaginian victory in which both Roman brothers were killed. Before this defeat, the brothers had spent seven years (218BC - 211BC) in Hispania, which in turn had limited the resources available to Hannibal who was simultaneously fighting the Romans in Italy.
