Hannibal proposed to invade Italy and try to win over Rome's Italian allies, who provided at least 60% of the military manpower available to Rome. He also proposed that he lead this expedition.

When Antiochus showed off the army he had levied to invade Greece and asked Hannibal if they would be enough to defeat Rome, Hannibal replied "I think all this will be enough, yes, quite enough, for the Romans, even though they are most avaricious." Hannibal was putin command of a Seleucid fleet but was defeated in a battle off the Eurymedon River. (in southern Turkey)


When napoleon lead his army across the alps what happened?

When Napoleon led his army across the Alps in May 1800, he executed a surprise maneuver against the Austrians during the War of the Second Coalition. The crossing was challenging due to harsh weather and rugged terrain, but Napoleon's forces successfully navigated the mountains. This strategic move allowed him to rapidly descend into northern Italy, culminating in the decisive Battle of Marengo, where he secured a significant victory. This campaign solidified his reputation as a military genius and helped to consolidate his power in France.

The carthagin leader who almost defeated Rome?

I believe it was Hannibal. He lead an army across the Pyrenees, across the alps and into the heart of Italy. He nearly defeated Rome but the Romans had sent an army to cause trouble in the Carthaginian empire in Spain. He was thus forced to retreat in order to restore law and order back home.
