The Second Punic War: A Clash of Titans (218-201 BC) As the Mediterranean world teeters on the brink, two titans clash in a struggle that will shape history. The mighty Carthaginian Empire, founded by Hannibal's father Hamilcar Barca, faces off against Rome - an emerging power driven by ambition and conquest. The war begins with Hannibal's daring invasion of Italy, where he defeats Roman legions at Cannae (216 BC). But the Romans refuse to yield. Led by Fabius Maximus, they adopt a cautious strategy that wears down Carthaginian forces. Meanwhile, Rome's naval power grows stronger under Admiral Gaius Duilius. As battles rage from Spain to Africa and Italy, both sides suffer heavy losses. Hannibal's famous elephants are no match for Roman discipline and tactics. The war drags on until 201 BC, when the Carthaginians finally surrender at Zama. Rome emerges victorious, its dominance over the Mediterranean solidified.
