Would not have become a world power
If Rome had been defeated at the Battle of Zama in 202 BC, it would have likely halted Rome's expansion into North Africa and prevented them from gaining control over Carthage. This defeat may have also weakened Rome's position in the Mediterranean and potentially altered the course of history, with other powers stepping in to fill the power vacuum left by Rome's loss.
If Hannibal had been the victor, Carthage and not Rome would have become the greatest empire in the world. Because Rome was victorious, it was Rome that passed laws, its government, and its culture to Western civilization.

Yes, he was. He was the Carthaginian general who attacked Italy from the north, crossing the Alps. It was a surprise attack as the Romans had never expected an attack from that direction. Hannibal led a 30,000 army, won several battles against the Roman army on his way to Rome, but he could not take Rome itself. In the end he was recalled to Africa and was defeated by Scipio at Zama in 202.
More war - Rome would not have given up on its ambitions as a world power. It would have had to keep on trying to defeat Carthage as they were irreconcilable enemies and contesting for dominance in the Western Mediterranean. One had to win eventually and eliminate the strength of the other.As it turned out, Carthage was defeated, and Rome sought to paralyse Carthage with a fifty-year financial penalty, which would have prevented them hiring their usual mercenary armies. Rome miscalculated - the Carthaginians were such successful traders that they paid off the indemnity within ten years and so, in Roman eyes, once again became a threat. Rome kept pushing the Carthaginians to war again by using North African proxies to attack them, so in due course an excuse came to attack Carthage once again and impose the final solution - levelling of the city and selling the people into slavery.

According to the fashionable theory the Etruscans conquered or dominated Rome 6th Century BCE, in the later period of the Roman monarchy. However, this is just that; a theory. It has been challenged. It is based on very flimsy evidence and on unproven assumptions. There is no historical record of this happening. The Roman Republic was established 509 BCE, which, according to the theory, occurred when the Etruscans were expelled from Rome. The battle of Zama was in 202 BCE. The Romans destroyed Carthage 146 BCE.
