Carthage did not win over the Romans. The Second punic War was an invasion of Italy by Hannibal Barca. He Routed the armies of the Romans and her Italic allies three times and won some other battles. However, he lost the war. He was eventually cornered into mountainous Calabria (the toe of Italy) and was stuck there for three years until he was recalled to fight the Romans in Tunisia (Carthage's homeland). Moreover, this was Hannibal's war, not Carthage's. His family had conquered southern Spain and ruled it as a private domain. Hannibal conducted a war for revenge.

How did Hannibal win battle of cannae?
Hannibal had deployed his troops in such a way that his cavalry and best troops stood at the edges of his battle formation while his center was kept realatively weak . The result was that his center quickly went into a controlled retreat when the Romans attacked while Hannibal's flanks held their ground or did not even have to engage. By pushing back the center without pushing back the flank troops, the Romans created a semicircle in which ever more Roman troops entered with hardly any room for manoeuvering. Then Hannibal's cavalry and flank troops who had gotten almost automatically in the Romans' rear, attacked. The Romans, squeezed togeter in the encirclement they had created themselves, were attacked from all sides and killed off wholesale.

How did Rome defeat the cartaginians?
In the First Punic War, which was fought in Sicily, the rugged terrain created a stalemate in the land war. This conflict was fought mainly at sea. The Carthaginian had a very good navy and excellent sailors. Rome built a fleet from scratch, but her sailors were inexperienced. To make up for this they built a boarding bridge (the corvus) of their ships. This worked well and the Romans won several battles. However, it made the ships top heavy and vulnerable in storms. The corvus was eventually ditched. Despite this, Rome still won the final naval battle of the war. In the Second Punic War, Hannibal invaded Italy and routed the armies of the Romans and their Italian allies four times. The Romans switched to a strategy of attrition. They avoided open battles against Hannibal and harassed him. They got Hannibal stuck in the south of Italy. They concentrated on retaking Capua (Italy's second largest city) which sided with Hannibal. They then sent several legions to different parts of the south to retake towns seized by the Carthaginians. The manpower available to Rome was far greater than that of Hannibal, who was leading what was an expeditionary force. The Romans also intercepted Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother who was taking reinforcements for Hannibal from Spain (Hannibal's power base). Rome also won a war in southern Spain , defeating the Carthaginians there, and took over this area. At this point, with no chance of getting reinforcements, Hannibal's campaign came to a dead end. Finally, the Romans started a campaign in Tunisia (Carthage's homeland) forcing Hannibal to leave Italy to fight there. They won this final battle. It was relatively easy for Rome to win the Third Punic War. The power of Carthage had been severely curtailed by the previous war.
