Hannibal was dead by the time of the Third Punic War.

In the Second Punic War he took the fight to Italy, directly threatening Italy. The remarkable situation that has gone down in history as a brilliant strategy was Hannibal's march through the Alps to reach Italy and totally surprise Rome. He attempted to detach Rome's Italian allies to his side, and remained in Italy for 15 years until Rome woke up and sent a force to Africa to threaten Carthage in the same way.

Hannibal was recalled to defend the city, and so his strategy was nullified.
