Thanks for the answers.. As far as I know, the Romans sent armies to Spain and North Africa, right at the beginning of the war. Hannibal's transition of the Alps took much time, I think. If the Romans arrived earlier in Spain and Africa than Hannibal arrived in Italy, they could have harmed Spain and Africa heavily. Why didn't this happen?

Hi all I got to write something about the reasons why Hannibal did choose the way over the Alps instead of the seeway. So does anyone know any good sources? A comparison of the Roman fleet and the Carthaginian one would also be great. Thank you Andy
