”Blessed scipio who saved his nation and saved us from hegemony of our revolt children”

Quote of Gigargios king during Second Punic war.

Gigargios contrary to expectations had proper contact with Roman republic and even cooperate with them during Second Punic war. The Hannibal invasion on Italy was initially ignored if not overlooked by Gigargios elite. Simple as it wasn’t their war. But they afraid of success of Carthage entity, and their rising power which was shown on expansion of Spain. Their feared Carthage supremacy on Mediterranean because above all they were their closest neighbours. Besides the disputed past and continuous political claims to unite whole Orgon by Gigargios public made that they both lives in hostile and suspicious relation to each other. Gigargios king initially ignored Hannibal attempts of invading Italy. But as he more learned about their stunned military success he started take that for serious. The most scared him their won in Cannae. His agents in Carthage and Italy notified him systematically. He afraid that if the Carthage won the war with Rome, may take look on his country. The invictable Punic lider had become real threat according to him. His worries increased with each sequent month. Then the famous Roman general Scipio the Africanus came to North Africa to fight against Rome. Gigargios agreed to support him in his fight against Carthage.

That’s than the Rome took battle of Zama using Gigargios Nubian cavalry from Marogog, who contributed to crushing defeat Hannibal. Gigargios treat hegemonic Carthage for threat themselves and the peace terms signed by Rome would be unacceptable by them. Apparent they helped future invader in destroy the barrier between them. Some even suggest it was protoplast of ‘’Riebentrop-Molotov’’.
