What major battles did the Romans win?
The Romans won hundreds of battles in their 1,200 years of history. Important battles the Romans won included the Battle of Ilipa in 206 in southern Spain where the Romans defeated the Carthaginians and took over the Carthaginian Spanish territories , the Battle of Zama in 202BC where they defeated Hannibal, the battle of Pydna in 168 where they defeated the king of Macedon, the Battle of Vercellae in 101 BC where they defeated the Cimbri, a Germanic people who was invading the empire the Battle of Alesia in 52 BC during the conquest of Gaul, the storming of Jerusalem in 70 AD, Trajan's battle of Sarmisegusta in 106 AD against the Dacians , the Battle of Naissus in 268 or 269 BC where Claudius II defeated the Goths, the Battle of Fano in 271 AD where Aurelian defeated the Alemanni, the Battle of Satala in 298 where Galerius defeated the Persians, and the Battle of Pollentia in 402 where Stilicho defeated Alaric I king of the Visigoths. This is far from being a comprehensive list.
Leader of the Carthaginians during the Second Punic War was?
Hannibal Barca was the leader of the Carthaginians during the Second Punic War. He famously invaded Italy by crossing the Alps with his army and won several major battles against the Romans, but ultimately failed to capture Rome.
What are some of Hannibal's achievements?
Crossing the Alps with his army elephants, of course; then his major victories over the Romans in the battles of Trebia, Trasimene and Cannae. Afterwards, his financial reorganizations in Carthage that enabled the city to pay off the huge war debt to Rome.
How did the Romans change tactics after Cannae?
The Romans returned to their original strategy, rather than changing it. Quintus Fabius Maximus had chosen a strategy of attrition. This consisted in avoiding open battle with Hannibal and instead pursuing his with hit and run guerrilla tactics. The aim was to wear Hannibal down in the long run in recognition of the fact that Hannibal was liable to rout the Roman armies in an open battle. This strategy was unpopular with many Romans who saw it as cowardly and who hoped for a decisive victory that would end the war quickly. The magnitude of the rout at Cannae convinced these dissenters that a quick victory was out of the question and that the strategy of Quintus Fabius was wise. After Cannae there were no major battles between Rome and Hannibal. Instead, the Romans concentrated on defeating their allies in Southern Italy who switched to supporting Hannibal after the Cannae to deprive him of this support and on repressing revolts in Sicily. They succeeded in this. Hannibal was dealt a blow when his brother Hasdrubal was intercepted and his army was routed in central Italy. Hasdrubal was bringing reinforcements and siege machines from Spain to Hannibal in southern Italy. Without these reinforcements and machines Hannibal could not sustain his war effort. Moreover, Carthage refused to sent reinforcements with its navy. Hannibal ended up withdrawing to the easily defensible mountains of Calabria (the toe of Italy) and was stuck there for the last three years of his Italian campaign.

What happend in second punic war?
During the second punic war Hannibal invaded Italy from Spain whilst Rome invaded Spain from Italy. Hannibal proved himself to be the superior general in battles against the Romans, especially at the battle of Cannae (216BC) when he decisively defeated a major Roman army using strategic tactics. Romans then employed fabian tactics against Hannibal so he stayed mainly in the South of Rome where loyalty to Rome was not as strong and he had a better chance of garnering support. The Carthaginians held their position in Spain until P. Cornelius Scipio took a Roman army over there and captured New Carthage. Hannibal's brother then abandoned Spain to help Hannibal but was unsuccessful. So Hannibal basically just trashed the south of Italy until 202BC. In 205BC Scipio was elected consul and led a campaign in North Africa against the Carthaginians in 204BC. The Carthaginians sued for peace in 203BC but when Hannibal returned in 202BC he convinced them to break their peace agreements. Hannibal and Scipio faced each other in the battle of Zama and Hannibal was defeated. Scipio earned the nickname 'Africanus' for winning this battle.

Why did the Romans want to kill Hannibal?
Hannibal Barca was a capable Carthaginian general who brought war/invading army to the Roman mainland and threatened the city of Rome itself .Hannibal was also an extremely skillful tactician. He annihilated the Romans in many battles which is why the Romans were so afraid of him. He went all the way from Spain through Europe, through the Alps, and into Rome, wreaking havoc in his path. Then, when he reached Italy he marched about the countryside, pillaging everything. However, he could not attack Rome because he didn't have the war-machines necessarily. Since he attacked Rome without the full backing of the Carthaginian war council, Hannibal was having trouble sustaining his troops out in the countryside. His position was made even more difficult because the Romans were pestering him with guerrilla raids which his vastly superior tactical skills were useless against since the raids happened randomly. Being stranded in the countryside eventually led to his retreat to Carthage and the razing of Carthage.Another View:Rome's strength was in its Italian allies which gave it greater resources than Hannibal commanded. As Hannibal did not have a seige train, he could not capture Rome itself, and he set about detaching its Italian allies. To his ability to defeat Rome's armies in the field he added the erosion of their support and potential isolation and eventual defeat.It then became a battle for the allies. Rome managed to hang on to some of the more important ones, then took a leaf from Hannibal's strategy and sent an army to threaten the city of Carthage in North Africa, which brought about Hannibal's recall to defend the city.
