__NOTOC__
==Events==
===By place===
====Carthage====
* Accused of treason by the [[Carthage|Carthaginians]] after being defeated by the [[Roman Republic|Romans]] at the [[Battle of the Great Plains]], [[Hasdrubal Gisco]] commits suicide to avoid being lynched by a Carthaginian mob.
* [[October 19]] — The [[Battle of Zama]] (130 kilometres south-west of Carthage) ends the [[Second Punic War]] and largely destroys the power of Carthage. Roman and [[Numidia]]n forces under the laedership of the Roman general [[Scipio Africanus|Publius Cornelius Scipio]] and his Numidian ally, [[Masinissa]], defeat a combined army of Carthaginians and their Numidian allies under the command of [[Hannibal]] and forces Carthage to capitulate. Hannibal loses 20,000 men in the defeat, but he is able to escape Masinissa's pursuit.
====Roman Republic====
* Following the Battle of Zama, the Roman general [[Scipio Africanus|Publius Cornelius Scipio]] gains the surname "Africanus" in honour of his feats in North Africa against Carthage.
====Egypt====
* The [[Ancient Egypt|Egyptian]] regent and chief minister, [[Sosibius]], retires and [[Agathocles of Egypt|Agathocles]], another member of the ruling clique, becomes [[Ptolemy V Epiphanes|Ptolemy V's]] guardian.
* Agathocles' rule provokes Tlepolemus, the governor of [[Pelusium]] (Egypt's eastern frontier city), into action. Tlepolemus marches on [[Alexandria]], where his supporters rouse a mob, compelling Agathocles to resign.
* The Egyptian boy king, [[Ptolemy V Epiphanes|Ptolemy V]], is encouraged by a mob clamouring for revenge against the murderers of his mother [[Arsinoe III of Egypt|Arsinoe III]] to agree to Agathocles being killed. As a result, the mob searches out and butchers Agathocles and his family. Tlepolemus takes Agathocles’ place as regent. However, he soon proves to be incompetent and is removed.
* During this period of confusion and change amongst Egypt’s leadership, armies under the [[Seleucid]] king, [[Antiochus III the Great|Antiochus III]], make serious inroads into the Egyptian territories in [[Coele Syria]].
====China====
* [[Liu Bang]], King of Han, defeats [[Xiang Yu]] of [[Western Chu]] in the [[Battle of Gaixia]], ending the [[Chu-Han contention]]. Liu Bang declares himself the [[Emperor of China]], officially beginning the [[Han Dynasty]].
* The construction of the new Chinese capital [[Chang'an]] begins.
* Liu Bang gives the area of today's [[Fujian Province]] to Wuzhu as his kingdom. Wuzhu starts the construction of his own capital Ye ([[Fuzhou]]).
* The construction of [[Changsha]] begins.
