After a dispute over colonies in Spain (Hispania), Hannibal led a force overland, gathering allies against Rome along the way, entering Italy via the Alps using war elephants to help pave the way. He defeated a number of Roman Legions sent against him, gaining spectacular victories at Tebia, Trasimene, and Cannae until Rome adapted the Fabian Strategy of avoiding battle while attacking his forces guerrilla style. Eventually, after depriving Hannibal of supplies from Sicily, Scipio attacked Carthaginian forces in Spain, depriving Hannibal of reinforcements. Finally, Scipio invaded Carthage itself, laying waste to the farmland. Carthage recalled Hannibal from Italy. Scipio defeated Hannibal at the Battle of Zama. Carthage sued for peace and was forced to pay heavy indemnities to Rome for the cost of the war. Scipio was given the name Africanus to commemorate his victory, and Hannibal was declared an Enemy of Rome, hounded by Rome for the rest of his life, until he committed suicide rather than be taken prisoner after being betrayed by his former friends.
