The Battle of Zama, fought on October 19, 202 BC, was the decisive battle of the Second Punic War.

Zama marked a reversal from typical battles of the Second Punic War in that the Romans were numerically deficient in infantry, while the Carthaginians - by the defection of the Numidians - were outnumbered 6,000 to 3,000 in cavalry.
