Abstract
Abstract The Second Punic War saw Rome's very existence challenged by its greatest enemy, the brilliant Carthaginian general Hannibal, who led his army across the Alps to challenge Roman control of Italy. In spite of four great victories, Hannibal could not force the Romans to negotiate. Instead its massive resources enabled Rome to campaign in Spain, the Balkans, and Sicily while denying Hannibal opportunities for further victories. Ultimately Roman determination prevailed and, when Scipio transported a Roman army to North Africa, Hannibal was summoned home after 15 years, where his first defeat ended the struggle.
