Why did the Romans want to kill Hannibal?
Hannibal Barca was a capable Carthaginian general who brought war/invading army to the Roman mainland and threatened the city of Rome itself .Hannibal was also an extremely skillful tactician. He annihilated the Romans in many battles which is why the Romans were so afraid of him. He went all the way from Spain through Europe, through the Alps, and into Rome, wreaking havoc in his path. Then, when he reached Italy he marched about the countryside, pillaging everything. However, he could not attack Rome because he didn't have the war-machines necessarily. Since he attacked Rome without the full backing of the Carthaginian war council, Hannibal was having trouble sustaining his troops out in the countryside. His position was made even more difficult because the Romans were pestering him with guerrilla raids which his vastly superior tactical skills were useless against since the raids happened randomly. Being stranded in the countryside eventually led to his retreat to Carthage and the razing of Carthage.Another View:Rome's strength was in its Italian allies which gave it greater resources than Hannibal commanded. As Hannibal did not have a seige train, he could not capture Rome itself, and he set about detaching its Italian allies. To his ability to defeat Rome's armies in the field he added the erosion of their support and potential isolation and eventual defeat.It then became a battle for the allies. Rome managed to hang on to some of the more important ones, then took a leaf from Hannibal's strategy and sent an army to threaten the city of Carthage in North Africa, which brought about Hannibal's recall to defend the city.
Why did Hannibal not win the war against Rome?
Hannibal was unsuccesfal because he marched his troops almost non-stop through the alps and he fought against another excellent general, Gaius Julius Ceasar. Hannibal was unsuccessful for a number of reason non include fighting against Julius Caesar because Julius Caesar wasnt even alive in the same time as Hannibal.
What were some advantages that Carthage had over Rome in the Punic Wars?
Firstly, Carthage was a very successful trading empire and with this wealth could afford to hire effective mercenary forces. In the First Punic War, Carthage had a strong navy - Rome was a land power, and were on the losing end until they developed from scratch a powerful fleet and better naval tactics. In the Second Punic war they had a superior strategist and tactician in Hannibal. Not only was he able to defeat Romconsistently in battles, he was able to play on Rome's reliance on its allies to provide the manpower to replace its losses, by detaching or neutralising those allies. This lasted for fifteen years until Rome produced the superior strategy of invading Africa and threatening Carthage, resulting in Hannibal's recall to protect the city. In the Third Punic War, they had nothing, being completely on the defensive and without the necessary resources.
How did Rome win the Second Punic War against Carthage?
Rome won the second Punic War partly because she had firm allies, especially in Italy, who would not join Hannibal, and partly because Scipio was a better general and strategist than Hannibal.

Why did Hannibal's overwhelming victory over Rome at the Battle of Cannae not cause Rome to surrender?
Rome itself was secure as Hannibal did not have a siege train to capture it. it became a contest to keeping its allies from going over to Hannibal and so maintaining a source of food and soldiers to replace the losses. Rome was able to maintain this, Hannibal was frustrated and Rome launched an attack on the Carthaginian homeland which resulted in his recall from Italy to defend it. Strategy - Hannibal attacking Rome at its heartland, responded to by a similar attack by Rome at his heartland.

Have they made a movie on Hannibal Barca the Carthaginian?
Yes, indeed, the Carthaginian General's career was the basis of a movie called simply Hannibal! made around l960. action adventure on a mountainous scope. Elephants over the Alps, for starters. Seem to recall it had something to do with Kirk Douglas, but not sure. In real life Hannibal was almost certainly black. Barca means lightning or flash, a reference to his assault tactics!
