Question
18. Explain how Rome was able to "rebound" from Hannibal's attack.
Answer
Rome rebounded from Hannibal's attack by adopting a strategy of attrition, avoiding direct confrontation with Hannibal's army and instead attacking his supply lines. Rome also formed alliances with other cities and kingdoms, such as the Numidians, and increased their military recruitment efforts. Additionally, Rome's strong economy and efficient government allowed them to quickly rebuild and replenish their army after losses.
