Did Hannibal win the Second Punic War?

Hannibal began the Second Punic War with a successful siege against the Roman city of Saguntum which barred his way to the Alps. He lost three quarters of his army crossing the Alps, and he had no siege equipment with which to take the city of Rome. As long as Rome was secure behind the Servian Wall and refused to surrender, Hannibal was not able to win. He had twenty thousand of the finest soldiers from the Mediterranean area, but their expertise was in mobilitity on the battlefield, and not in siege warfare. For fifteen years they defeated a succession of Roman commanders, and only Fabius Maximus had some measure of success against Hannibal. A Carthaginian relief army led by Hasdrubal (Hannibal's brother-in-law) and equipped with a siege train crossed the Alps and almost managed to link up with Hannibal's army, but it was intercepted and destroyed by a Roman army. Hasdrubal's head was cut off and launched into Hannibal's encampment. At the moment he saw the severed head of Hasdrubal, it is believed that Hannibal saw the fate of Carthage. The Roman warning of "Hannibal is at the gates" inspired more terror than it indicated actual danger. Without siege engines Hannibal could not take Rome, despite all of his spectacular victories in the field. Another reason Carthage lost the second punic war was its inability to control the seas. The ability to land troops on the Italian peninsula would have been a tactic to reduce food & supplies to Roman cities. When the Roman General Scipio invaded northern africa, Hannibal was forced to withdraw from Italy to defend Carthage. In 202 BC Scipio met Hannibal at ZAMA and desivily defeated Hannibal's army. With the war concluded Carthage was forced to pay a huge indemnity, cede Spain and her African territories and drastically reduce its fleet.

How would you prevent the third punic war?

It was a lose-lose situation which allowed Rome to finally capture Carthage, level the city, sell the population into slavery, and establish a Roman military colony on the site.
