Hannibal invaded Italy in 218 BC but did not attack Rome itself because he could not take the necessary siege engines with him.

∙ 9y agoDuring the second Punic War (218-203 BC), Hannibal launched a devastating attack on the area surrounding Rome, but never actually invaded the city. He is considered one of the great military leaders of history and his campaign during the Second Punic War has been compared to a world war in its scope.
