What if Hannibal Barca, when instead of being ordered to return from Italian to Africa to defend Carthage from Rome by the Carthaginian senate and doing so, ultimately being defeated at Zama, disregards his orders and stays in Italy? How would this change the flow of history as we know it? Does he still retain the ability to win against the ever more numerous Roman armies? Would Carthage be threatened with capture by the Roman forces?

Eager to hear your thoughts on this!
