You are in command of an army of Carthaginians, Liby-Phoenicians, Spaniards, Gauls, and Africans.  There is little doubt that attacking the Saguntines would excite the Romans to arms. What would you like to do?

• Beseige Saguntum and break the treaty with the Romans, knowing that Spain is still volatile.
• Leave Saguntum alone and finish the Spanish conquest your father and brother started, stopping short of the river Ebro, and honoring the treaty with the Romans—for now.
