The Alps with an invading army .
It was the Romans under the command of Publius Cornelius Scipio who defeated Hannibal at the battle of Zama in 202 bc.
I think Hannibal was a quite good leader because not many people could at the age of 26 lead an army which consisted of over 70000 people plus he was mercy less to his enimies. Eventhough he was outnumbered he led his soldiers to victory against the romans.
Hannibal had to move his army over the Pyrenees Mountains, and then over the Alps before striking at the Romans. He lost about three-quarters of his army in the process. It would be a challenge even for a modern army today.
it was because he had marched an army through the alps to surprise the romans. and along the way raised a multi racial army therefore uniting the people he also defeated an unprecedented (the largest ever)roman army, in the battle of canne. hannibal was clearly respected for his genius as it brought fear to the republic
