Roman demands after Zama

What if Rome demands Carthage and its empire become a possession of Rome after Zama
with Carthage having a heavy but not crippling tax placed on it, be demiliarized and Rome guarenteeing its security?

Can there be peace and prosperity for Carthage for a much longer time than IOTL?
 
Carthage would resist in a siege. And Rome wouldn't have the stomach for such a siege especially when Carthage was willing to accept essentially vassal status.
