The great general Hannibal Barca was famously lured into an attack on his homeland, Carthage, during the Second Punic War. After years of campaigning in Italy and achieving notable victories against Rome, he was ultimately summoned back to defend Carthage from a Roman invasion led by Scipio Africanus. This strategic decision led to Hannibal's defeat at the Battle of Zama in 202 BCE, marking a turning point in the war and the eventual decline of Carthaginian power.
