| | Having secured his position in northern Italy by this victory, Hannibal quartered his troops for the winter with the Gauls, whose zeal in his cause thereupon began to abate. | | | Upon the death of his brother-in-law (221 BC) Hannibal was acclaimed commander-in-chief by the army and confirmed in his appointment by the Carthaginian government. | | | In 203 BC, when Scipio was carrying all before him in Africa and the Carthaginian peace party were arranging an armistice, Hannibal was recalled from Italy by the war party at Carthage. |

| | This policy was adopted from July 217 BC until the middle of 216 BC. | | | Subsequent to that, the Dictator Quintus Fabius "Cunctator" (The Delayer) had instituted a policy of avoiding major engagements, which was succeeding against the great Hannibal. | | | Ironically, it was the very success of this policy which had resulted in calls in the Senate to take up arms again and drive out the invader. |
