The worst war for the Romans in ancient times is often considered the Second Punic War (218-201 BCE), particularly due to the military genius of Carthaginian general Hannibal. His audacious crossing of the Alps and subsequent victories, including the Battle of Cannae in 216 BCE, resulted in massive Roman losses and posed a significant threat to the Republic. The war strained Roman resources and morale, leading to significant military reforms and ultimately reshaping Rome's approach to warfare. Despite these challenges, Rome eventually triumphed, but the conflict left a lasting impact on its military and political landscape.
