    Hannibal resumed his siege of Saguntum and conquered it after a terrible and costly siege. Hannibal, although he held preeminence in Carthage, still had to rely on his allies to keep him in power. A delegate was sent to Rome to answer a question regarding whether Hannibal had acted on his own or had the approval of the Carthaginian senate. The delegate, according to Livy, was the best orator in Carthage. He quickly quashed the argument regarding the border of Hasdrubal because the Carthaginian council had not been part of the talks. Furthermore, he argued that the Romans had broken the treaty after the First War by invading Sardinia; finally, he stated that Hannibal broke no treaty because the Saguntines did not have an alliance with Rome when the treaty between Hasdrubal formed. However, the Romans did not care about that, they wanted peace or war. The Carthaginians declared the Romans needed to choose, and the Romans chose the later. At this critical juncture, Carthage still held with Hannibal and wanted to help him.…

    Hannibal’s overall war strategy in Italy, or lack thereof, can be seen as a strong contributing factor to Carthage’s ultimate defeat in the Second Punic War. Livy describes, “Hannibal…without orders from the senate, crossed both the Alps and the Ebro.” Demonstrating his defiance of Carthaginian Government’s ambitions against Rome. Ultimately, Hannibal sought not to destroy Rome but to “create a balance of power with [her]” according to Fronda. This is to suggest that rather than conquer Rome, Hannibal wanted to be on the same playing field in order to deny them the opportunity to claim hegemony over the Mediterranean. The content of the Macedonian–Carthaginian Treaty further evidences Hannibal’s lack of intention to destroy Rome as, in multiple sections, it discusses how Rome will be treated and acknowledges their…

    The separation of the Western Empire from the wealthier Eastern part also served as a cause and the negative side of Diocletian’s separation reform. Another cause included German invasions by Barbarians (non-Romans) the overran Gaul and Spain (both part of Western) and North Africa. The Huns lead by Attila who were responsible for the Germanic assault became a direct threat to both half of the empire and were thankfully fought of in the Eastern half. In the Western half, famine and disease that led to Attila’s resulted in the Hans no longer being a threat but the Germanic invasions continued. Finally, the western half ultimately crumbled when the last Roman emperor who was a 14-year-old boy named Romulus Augustulus was driven out by Germans resulting in the western half disappearing because no one could “even pretend to rule…

    In 452 AD, Attila the Hun was on a rapid streak of sacking cities in Western Rome on his way to the ultimate treasure of Rome. Attila allegedly requested that the sister of the Emperor Valentinian III (425-455 AD) be sent to him with great amounts of gold and money. In rejoinder, the Emperor sent a consul, a former urban prefect, and Pope Leo the Great to negotiate with Attila. Not many specifics were divulged as to why Attila withdrew from Italy and returned to his homeland. Some possible theories were that Pope Leo the Great may have offered Attila large sums of gold, a ghastly plague in Northern Italy, food shortages, or even that Attila’s army was greatly weighed down from loot from previous raids. Pope Leo the Great was successful because he knew that this was his last chance to save Italy from being destroyed and he used all of his strength to coax Attila out of Italy.…
