LA Second Punic War Hannibal

In Rome, the fall of Sagunto in public opinion occurred the effect would be expected. That winter of 219-218 was crucial for the future of Rome, since he decided to expand westward. In the Senate
pitted two opposing tendencies. The isolationist party had the support of the allied maritime cities of southern Italy, whose businesses with Carthage risk if war was declared. Similarly, the populace opted for peace, because in reality she was required to do the real human effort that required the race - not to participate after the benefits of victory. The patrician landowners, however, intervencionsita party were militaristic, ie, they preferred the conquest of new properties and the weakening of the plebeian sector. And this line was the one imposed. However, Rome did not want to take the lead in the declaration of war. that is why it sent an embassy to Carthage, led by Quintus Fabius Maximus, to require the Senate Carthaginian Hannibal's delivery and his staff. Clearly, the Carthaginian Senate, who had advised him to act on Hannibal seemed appropriate in the case of Sagunto, could not now overrule its overall "star" and even less helpless surrender to the enemy. So when Max presented his Fifth Flabio ultimatum the response was the most dramatic negative.
Carthage, who had won the battle of the law - because Rome had acted in bad faith in violation of the Ebro treaty - now gained diplomatic force Rome to be she who declared war. Then the winner would be Roma who declared to Boating blame for what happened - what I always say that history is erased by the victors.
will leave aside the legal niceties with which various Roman historians tried to justify the war that ended by declaring and addressed as a Roman legation also joined in the Iberian Peninsula, to visit the subject populations by the Carthaginians and encourage them all possible discontent against the Punic. And this brings us back to Livy, who tells us that an old response of those tribes gave the Romans legacies:

" How dare you, Roman, to come with the claim that sacrifice the friendship the Carthaginians for the benefit of your own, when Saguntines, who trusted in you, have experienced a betrayal on your part much more cruel than the revenge of their enemy? Seek allies in which the misfortune of Sagunto ignore it, for the people Iberian, the ruins of that city will be a sad learning about the confidence that deserves the word of Rome. "

he was right not to wise elder and has merit such a response Livio humbling reflect the supposed "goodwill" of Rome. After traveling unnecessarily
Peninsula, spent the legacies to Gaul, where humiliation was not minor:

"It was such laughter that erupted, it is said, and these whispers, it took a lot of work to the judges and the other elders to calm the youth, so reckless and foolish they thought the Roman proposition. "

again exercised historian Livy and tells it objectively, or at least relatively objective.
