Prior to the Second Punic war, Hannibal was the ruler of the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain which belonged to his family, the Barca, which had conquered these lands.
Hannibal was also a politician from one of the most politically powerful Carthaginian families. After the Second Punic War he was elected as head of Carthage. He tackled corruption and challenged the power of the oligarchy and made Carthage relatively more democratic. Some of his political opponents accused him of trying to prepare Carthage for war against Rome again. The Romans ordered that Hannibal be handed over to them and he fled the city.
Hannibal became a military advisor to Antiochus III, the Seleucid king in Syria who was preparing for was against Rome. He was commander of the Seleucid fleet in two naval battles against Rome. When Antiochus was defeated, Hannibal became a military advisor of Prusias I, the king of Bithynia (in north-western Turkey) who was at war with the neighbouring Kingdom of Pergamon, an ally of Rome. He won a naval battle and two land battles. The Romans demanded that Prusias surrender Hannibal to them. Prusias had to give in to the pressure. Hannibal committed suicide before this happened.
