Why was the capture of ancient Rome not part of the war plans of Hannibal?
ChuckSiata
The capture of Rome was in Hannibal's plans. However, he could not attack Rome because he lost his siege machines while crossing the Alps in the snowy winter. Later his brother brought siege machines for Spain to Italy. However he was intercepted before he could reach Hannibal. His army was routed and he was killed.
