Rome razed Carthage and sowed the land with salt. If that isn't winning rather easily, say, 34-17, I don't know what is.
Your eyes are as good as mine.

Winning rather easily, say 34-17 is Caesar setting foot over the Rubicon. You're only looking at the second half.
"Hannibal of Carthage was the most formidable and ingenious enemy that Rome ever faced. He was the driving force and mastermind behind the Second Punic War, which was a drawn out, disastrous, and nearly fatal struggle for Rome. Although at the time the war broke out, Rome was a very established power, and seemed to have the decided advantage, Hannibal's military genius, and propensity for brilliantly exploiting Rome's internal divisions and weaknesses nearly destroyed the city. Hannibal's brilliant military stratagems, as well as the missteps and defensive strategies of the Roman generals are still studied in military history today."
