Why do you think Hannibal took the route he did instead of sailing straight across Rome?
Hannibal took the route through the mountains to attack Rome from the last place they expected to be attacked from. When Rome heard that Hannibal was coming through the mountains, they sent an extremely large force to meet him. When the Romans moved up into the mountains, Hannibal surrounded and defeated them. Though he lost the manpower needed to sack the city, he would not be defeated until Scipio Africanus met him in battle in Carthage.
