Too bad Hannibal didn't sack Rome when he had the chance. His delay in sacking Rome allowed the Romans to defend the city.

Great post

The article didn't mention it but part of the reason Hannibal couldn't sack Rome was because of Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus who would constantly attack and harass Hannibal.
