In the map, we can notice that Rome had enemies both on the Italian peninsula and in North Africa.

What we can tell about this distribution?

Despite the fact the Roman troupes had strong enemies and the geographic situation wasn´t  ideal they won the second Punic war because their political institutions kept internal peace and order, allowing it to wage external wars with far greater efficiency and ferocity, allowing it to ultimately overcome the catastrophic victories that Hannibal had won in rivers of Roman blood.

Roman soldiers were proud of participating in fights and wars and their culture promote those values. Despite the fact they could die, dying for Rome was a great honor.

The conclusion which can be drawn about the Second Punic War from the information in the map is:

According to the complete map, we can see that there are areas within the Mediterranean which were controlled by the Romans and the Carthaginians and their allies when the Second Punic War was fought.

As a result of this, we can conclude that the Romans had enemies on the Italian peninsula and in the North African region. This is because of the conflict which they fought in those territories and they came out victorious against their enemies through their military might, politics and allies.
