After the Second Punic War Hannibal was elected leader of Carthage. He weakened the power of the council of judges which had become a dictatorial force, fought corruption and the privileges of the aristocracy and restored the economy of Carthage. Some aristocrats accused Hannibal of planning an alliance against Rome with Antiochus III the king of the Seleucid Empire which was centred on Syria who was planning a war against Rome. The Romans set up a commission of enquiry. Hannibal went into voluntary exile and fled to the court of Antiochus. He became his military advisor during the Roman-Syrian War. He commanded the Seleucid flee in two naval battles in which he was defeated. When Antiochus seemed prepared to hand him to the Romans in the course of peace negotiations, Hannibal took refuge at the court of Prusias I, the king of Bithynia (in north-western Turkey), who was engaged in a war with King Eumenes II of Pergamon (in western Turkey) a Roman ally.
Hannibal won a naval battle and two land battles against Pergamon. The Romans threatened Prusias into handing over Hannibal. Rather than facing this fate, Hannibal poisoned himself. His words before dying were: "Let us relieve the Romans from the anxiety they have so long experienced, since they think it tries their patience too much to wait for an old man's death."
