Best Answer

In 218 BC Hannibal invaded Italy, but did not attack Rome because the lost his siege machine while crossing the Alps in the snowy winter. Without these he could not attack a city the size of Rome. After Routing the Romans and their allies three times, his campaign lingered in southern Italy and then came to a dead end.
