Hispania and Hasdrubal
There were three military theaters in this war: Italy, where Hannibal defeated the Roman legions repeatedly ; Hispania, where Hasdrubal, a younger brother of Hannibal, defended the Carthaginian colonial cities with mixed success until eventually retreating into Italy ; and Sicily, where the Romans held military supremacy.
Not only were they contending with Hannibal in Italy, and his brother Hasdrubal in Hispania, but Rome had embroiled itself in yet another foreign war, the first of its Macedonian wars against Carthage's ally Philip V, at the same time.
