Second Punic War

The Second Punic War was a conflict waged between the Roman Republic and the Carthaginian Empire, being the second of the three Punic Wars. 
The war began after Carthaginian general Hannibal, son of Hamilcar Barca, sacked the pro-Roman city of Saguntum in Iberia. Hannibal would prove to be one of Rome's greatest enemies, unexpectedly crossing the Alps, harrying the Republic and annihilating the Roman military in the Battle of Cannae. War continued in southern Italy until many of the cities were recaptured by Rome. Publius Scipio rose to be Rome's commander, eventually defeating Hannibal in the Battle of Zama in modern Tunisia, resulting in Carthage suing for peace.
SCP-3813 was utilized by Hasdrubal Barca in an attack from the south while Hannibal attacked from the north, though was destroyed after tow cables brought the automaton into the Tyrrhenian Sea.

=== U-Alexylva ===
In U-Alexylva, the Second Punic War was won by Carthage instead of Rome, which allowed Latin and Greek influence to spread across the world. The point of divergence was established to be the Battle of the Metaurus; though won by Rome in mainline reality, Carthage would win this battle and Rome would eventually fall.
