| The Carthaginian general Hannibal is considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. In 218 bc Hannibal traveled from Spain across the Alps to attack Rome. He inflicted crushing defeats on Roman armies as he marched, but lacked the reinforcements necessary to take the city. In 202 bc Hannibal was called back to Africa to defend Carthage against invading Roman forces, and there he was finally defeated at the Battle of Zama. | ||||||
