205 BC
With a League army of fifty five thousands coming from the north/east and one of thirty thousands coming from the north/west and no reinforcements coming from Carthage( Carthage was basically landlocked by the League fleet.) Hannibal was in a really difficult position. The Vettones and Carpetani tribes fearing for the fate of their people changed sides and betrayed Hannibal also. With less than twenty thousands troops Hannibal realised that the best he could do is to ask for a peace treaty before total defeat. In the peace treaty Carthage lost all her holdings in Iberia forever. The League imposed a war indemnity of 15,000 talents, limited the Carthaginian navy to 10 ships (to ward off pirates), and forbade Carthage from raising an army without the League permission.
