Did Hannibal ever battle the Greeks or Macedonians?
Macedonia actually sided with Carthage and Hannibal during the Second Punic War, providing a diversion against the Romans by taking territory in the east. After defeating Hannibal and tying Carthage up with a paralysing treaty, the Roman leaders decided to payback Macedonia for this intervention. They called a meeting of the Centuriate Assembly to get approval for an attack on Macedonia. The Roman people were sick and tired of war after twenty yeas and refused. After a week the Assembly was reconvened and was given a long list of the wealth of Macedonia and the rich spoils to be gained. The Roman people, impoverished by the war and their absence from their farms, suddenly saw the light, and approved the invasion of Macedonia to get their hands on the loot. Hannibal later on, after resuscitating Carthage's economy, fled to Asia Minor to escape Roman attempts to assassinate him. He took leadership in inter-Greek wars there successfully, but the Romans tracked him down and he suicided to avoid being captured and dragged to Rome.
