Many did not survive the conditions and skirmishes, arriving in the area of Turin with half the originally reported force.

Hannibal led his army, along with many horses and several elephants, across the Alps during the winter in an attempt to ambush the Roman general Scipio's army. Since Hannibal was from Carthage, they were expecting him to come from there, but instead, he went up and attacked them from north of Rome. This was a failed attempt though, because Scipio then attacked Carthage, forcing Hannibal to return home and defend his country.
