It's so hard to choose... 
I prefer battle of Zama, but I think Rome fits in more.
I'll still vote for Zama though.

Am I the only one: I think Rome goes to War sounds very oriental. As if it would better be named Egypt goes to war .

Voted!
I liked both ... but have a preference.... and i am not going to tell...

Rome goes to war - seems it certainly goes to North Africa and Middle East. Reminds an episode from Gladiator when he became a slave in sunny outskirts of Roman Empire (nowadays Morocco, if I remember well). Generally not bad, imo.
Zama - doesn`t inspire too much, actually... But gives a feeling of time a bit.

They are both decent pieces, I much prefer Rome goes to war. . .but I agree it should be renamed "Egypt goes to war".
Rome goes to war. Both pieces are good, but Romee is IMO best and it kind of builds up an atmosphere were Zama starts too high up.

Rome goes to war is better. Zama was pretty mediocre and didn't leave me any impression. Heck, I can barely remember what it was like.
I actually liked the Battle of Zama, for the middle part of a song. Since the fade-in of the Rome Goes To War excerpt is smoother, I believe that damaged the impression a bit for some people. An epic piece like Zama needs a larger exposition.
Still, seeing as these are merely excerpts, I choose Zama, although Rome really conveys a sense of the era. Both are very atmospheric pieces!

The East begins in Rome.
I definitely like Rome Goes to War, it sounds pretty eastern Mediterranean. However, it doesn't feel martial enough for such a name. Battle of Zama doesn't feel terribly martial either, and IMHO it isn't as good as the first.
I'm having a hard time voting. Zama seems a great into; it feels epic yet avoids being too heroic. Rome seems like great atmospheric music, maybe for the Levant.
