Quid Romani?

The Second Punic War is often referred to as the Hannibalic Wars, and by the Romans, the War Against Hannibal. Hannibal crossed the Alps, and some say he could have crushed Rome in the war. This timeline explores the possibility of a Roman capitulation and collapse during the war.

Point of Divergence
Hannibal crushes Marcus Claudius Marcellus in the Third Battle of Nola, causing the many Tribes of Rome to defect to Hannibal. This leads to Rome's defeat in the war and ultimate decline, causing enormous ramifications.
