The war lasted from 218 to 201 BC. At different times, Syracuse, Numidia, the Aetolian Union and Pergamon fought on the side of Rome, while Macedonia, Numidia, Syracuse and the Achaean Union fought on the side of Carthage. The official cause of the wars was the siege and capture of the Spanish city of Saguntum (an ally of Rome) by the Carthaginian commander Hannibal. After that, the Romans declared war on Carthage. At first, the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal gained the upper hand over the Roman troops. The most significant of the Carthaginian victories was the Battle of Cannae, after which Macedonia entered the war on the side of Carthage. ????
