Rome? After Hannibal retreated back to Carthage (present day Tunisia), the Romans followed him there and wiped out their army. Carthage was basically a commerce state and didn't have much of their own military, just mercenaries. They didn't support Hannibal or the war very well and in the end were overrun. I think Scipio Africanus was instrumental in defeating Carthage, he was a Roman general. - Hannibal wasn't "kicked out of Italy" , he pretty much destroyed all the Roman forces he met, even when he was outnumbered and with no reinforcements. - When Romans couldn't beat him, they decided to attack Carthage the city instead, he was miles from conquering Rome. - Facing that danger Carthage senates recalled Hannibal and ordered him to defend the city, he faced Romans in Battle of Zama which he lost vs Scipio Africanus, mainly because Romans had the Numidians (nowadays Algerians) on their side, Numdians were that era's best Cavalry, they destroyed Carthaginian Cavalry then went to attack Carthage's main force from the back.

What is the historical andcultural significance of the Roman destruction of Carthage?
Rome had imposed harsh penalties on Carthage in its bid to neutralise it and gain dominance of the Western Mediterranean. Carthage was such a resilient trader that it bounced back, so Rome created a crisis leading to the destruction of Carthage to eliminate its challenge. It sold the Caarthaginians into slavery and established a Roman military colony on the site to eliminate any chance of resurgence. The Phoenician peoples in the Levant, from which Carthage had sprung, by this time had come under domination of Persia and then the Macedonians, and so had ceased to be the dominant traders in the Mediterranean. Rome began expanding into Eastern Europe, absorbed Macedonia and progressively added the Greek world to its empire, also including the Phoenicians.
