Hannibal sought to surprise the Romans with a most daring and risky move. He led his army on a long trek from Spain across France and through the alps.
Hannibal Barca of Carthage.
The Romans returned to their original strategy, rather than changing it. Quintus Fabius Maximus had chosen a strategy of attrition. This consisted in avoiding open battle with Hannibal and instead pursuing his with hit and run guerrilla tactics. The aim was to wear Hannibal down in the long run in recognition of the fact that Hannibal was liable to rout the Roman armies in an open battle. This strategy was unpopular with many Romans who saw it as cowardly and who hoped for a decisive victory that would end the war quickly. The magnitude of the rout at Cannae convinced these dissenters that a quick victory was out of the question and that the strategy of Quintus Fabius was wise. After Cannae there were no major battles between Rome and Hannibal. Instead, the Romans concentrated on defeating their allies in Southern Italy who switched to supporting Hannibal after the Cannae to deprive him of this support and on repressing revolts in Sicily. They succeeded in this. Hannibal was dealt a blow when his brother Hasdrubal was intercepted and his army was routed in central Italy. Hasdrubal was bringing reinforcements and siege machines from Spain to Hannibal in southern Italy. Without these reinforcements and machines Hannibal could not sustain his war effort. Moreover, Carthage refused to sent reinforcements with its navy. Hannibal ended up withdrawing to the easily defensible mountains of Calabria (the toe of Italy) and was stuck there for the last three years of his Italian campaign.
