Scipio sent messengers to the Carthaginian general, informing him that he was ready to meet him and discuss the course of the war. On hearing this, Hannibal moved his camp to within a few hundred metres of Scipio's and encamped on a hill that seemed favourably placed, even though his water supply depended on a distant stream, which caused his soldiers considerable hardship. The next day, both commanders advanced from their camps, attended by a few horsemen as escort, and met. The two generals left their respective escorts and, accompanied only by an interpreter, approached each other. After the customary greeting, Hannibal was the first to speak. Hannibal said that he wished the Romans had never sought any possession outside Italy, nor the Carthaginians conquered territories beyond Libya.
