The Roman defeated Hannibal by changing their tactics. They were able to wear down Hannibal's army, which had suffered may casualties just getting to Italy and then having to fight their way through. When Hannibal set for reinforcements from Carthage, they were never sent. The Romans also attacked in Spain, diverting Hannibal's attention from Italy and then in Africa itself, where Hannibal had to fight to defend his homeland and lost.
