∙ 14y agoHe didn't go there. He did not have asiege train and couldn't invest the city without it and with the Roman army lurking in the hills behind him.
So he concentrated on defeating the Roman army when he could bring it to battle, and trying to turn Rome's Italian allies from it to weaken it.

∙ 11y agoHe obviously took the safest way to not get killed... i think True, but his exact route is unknown. We do know that he traveled by way of Spain and this would necessitate him traveling through Gaul in order to get to Italy. We also know that he crossed the Alps, but exactly where he made his crossing is also unknown.

∙ 10y agoHannibal did not get to Rome. He could not attack this city because he lost his siege machines while crossing the Alps to get into Italy in the snowy winter. He won two battles in northern Italy and one in central Italy, quite close to Rome. Then he then marched to southern Italy instead of heading for Rome.
Hannibal took about five and a half months to march from Saguntum (near modern day Valencia, Spain) to Turin in Italy, just past the Alps. This was a 1,600 kilometre (1,000 miles) journey. He fought against the cities of Catalonia, which were allies of Rome, for two months. He had to fight the locals by the river Rhone, in southeastern France, and he was ambushed by locals while ascending the Alps. The descent of the Alps was very difficult as it was snowing, landslides blocked the path at one point and a road was too narrow at another point. Hannibal lost half of his forces, his elephants and his siege machines while crossing the Alps. Nevertheless, this was still an amazing achievement. Nobody thought it was possible to cross the Alps in the winter. The speed of the whole journey was also breath-taking.

Rome sat on top of an uneasy confderation of Italian citiy-states, whose combined power gave Rome ascendancy. Hannibal's strategy was to take the war to Italy and detach as many of these restive Roman subject cities as possible to his own side. He was partly successful and remained a threat in Italy for many years.Rome took fifteen years to wake up, but then retaliated with the same strategy by sending Scipio to Africa with an army to threaten Carthage. Hannibal was recalled to defend Carthage, and was defeated there, ending the Second Punic War.
