The <entity_1> was fought in 202 BC near <entity_3>, now in Tunisia, and marked the end of the <entity_0>. A <entity_7> army led by Publius Cornelius Scipio, with crucial support from Numidian leader Masinissa, defeated the <entity_2> army led by Hannibal. The elephants opened the <entity_5> by charging the main <entity_7> army. The <entity_7> and Numidian cavalry subsequently defeated the <entity_2> cavalry and chased them from the battlefield. The <entity_7> second line joined the struggle and pushed back the <entity_2> assault. Masinissa was to be allowed to expand <entity_4> into parts of <entity_6>. The <entity_2> senate recalled Hannibal, who was still in Italy (although confined to the south of the peninsula) when Scipio landed in <entity_6>, in 203 BC. The <entity_5> took place at <entity_3>, near Siliana 130 km southwest of Tunis. At the outset of the <entity_5>, Hannibal unleashed his elephants and skirmishers against the <entity_7> troops in order to break the cohesion of their lines and exploit the breaches that could be opened. Scipio's plan to neutralize the threat of the elephants had worked; his troops then fell back into traditional <entity_7> <entity_5> formation. Laelius, the commander of the <entity_7> left wing, charged against the <entity_2> right. The <entity_2> cavalry, acting on the instructions of Hannibal, allowed the <entity_7> cavalry to chase them in order to lure them away from the battlefield so that they wouldn't attack the <entity_2> armies in the rear. <entity_2> cavalry carried out Hannibal's instructions well and there was no sign of <entity_7> cavalry on the battlefield. Once the <entity_2> cavalry was far enough away, they turned and attacked the <entity_7> cavalry but were eventually routed. The <entity_5> finally turned in the Romans' favor when the <entity_7> cavalry returned to the battlefield and attacked the <entity_2> line from behind. Soon after Scipio's victory at <entity_3> the war ended, with the <entity_2> senate suing for peace. When Rome waged war again on <entity_2> about 50 years later, the Carthaginians had little power and could not defeat the by-then very aged Masinissa in <entity_6>.
