So yeah, I'm kinda bombarding you guys with Hannibal pods. Anyway, while in Antiochus's Seleucid court, Hannibal pressed Antiochus to five him the necessary troops and supplies to invade Italy when war came. He stressed the only way to beat Rome was on Italian soil, and pointed out that he would make a great distraction to the Romans while Antiochus invades Greece, maybe forcing the Romans to cave in to a favorable peace to Antiochus.


Antiochus considered it and seemed to go along with it, but decided against it in the end. What would have happened if Antiochus agreed to the plan and Hannibal landed in Italy again with a Seleucid army whole Antiochus invaded Greece?
