Hannibal crossed the Alps with a massive army and a bunch of elephants. He managed to do it, albeit with major losses. When he arrived in Italy, he won a bunch of battles against the Romans but finally got defeated in a battle that took place in Carthage. He never actually attacked the city of Rome.
