who led the carthaginian army in the second punic war?
hannibal
against hannibal's skill on the battlefield, the romans adopted the fabian strategy – the avoidance of battle against hannibal and defeating his allies and the other carthaginian generals instead. roman armies recaptured all of the great cities that had joined carthage and defeated a carthaginian attempt to reinforce hannibal at metaurus in 207. southern italy was devastated by the combatants, with hundreds of thousands of civilians killed or enslaved. in iberia, which served as a major source of silver and manpower for the carthaginian army, a roman expeditionary force under publius cornelius scipio captured carthago nova, carthage's capital city in iberia, in 209. scipio's destruction of a carthaginian army at ilipa in 206 permanently ended carthaginian rule in iberia. he invaded carthaginian africa in 204, inflicting two severe defeats on carthage and her allies at utica and the great plains that compelled the carthaginian senate to recall hannibal's army from italy. the final engagement between scipio and hannibal took place at zama in africa in 202 and resulted in hannibal's defeat and the imposition of harsh peace conditions on carthage (carthaginian peace), which ceased to be a great power and became a roman client state until its final destruction by the romans in 146 bc during the third punic war. the second punic war overthrew the established balance of power of the ancient world and rome rose to become the dominant power in the mediterranean basin for the next 600 years.
