Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

northern Italy in 208 B.C., Roman forces defeated an army of reinforcements led by Hannibal's brother Hasdrubal, who had crossed the Alps in an attempt to come to Hannibal's aid. ... He then invaded North Africa, forcing Hannibal to withdraw his troops from southern Italy in 203 B.C. in order to defend his home state.
