He invaded Italy and threatened Rome for 15 years, but did not have a siege train to actually attack the city walls. However this threat kept the Romans in check until Scipio took a Roman expeditionary force to Carthage to threaten it in the same way, and Hannibal was recalled to defend the city, lifting the siege of Rome.
