Hannibal Barca. He led a Carthaginian army, not Carthage which was a city in North Africa. He crossed both the Pyrenees and the Alps to attack Italy in 218 BC at the beginning of the Second Punic War.

Carthage did not win over the Romans. The Second punic War was an invasion of Italy by Hannibal Barca. He Routed the armies of the Romans and her Italic allies three times and won some other battles. However, he lost the war. He was eventually cornered into mountainous Calabria (the toe of Italy) and was stuck there for three years until he was recalled to fight the Romans in Tunisia (Carthage's homeland). Moreover, this was Hannibal's war, not Carthage's. His family had conquered southern Spain and ruled it as a private domain. Hannibal conducted a war for revenge. Although many people in Carthage supported him, many objected to it. In fact, Carthage did not provide any aid to Hannibal when he was in need.
The king of Carthage during the First Punic War was Hamilcar Barca. He was one of Carthage's most prominent military leaders and a skilled strategist. Hamilcar Barca led Carthaginian forces in Sicily and established a strong presence on the island during the war.

Hannibal led his army, along with many horses and several elephants, across the Alps during the winter in an attempt to ambush the Roman general Scipio's army. Since Hannibal was from Carthage, they were expecting him to come from there, but instead, he went up and attacked them from north of Rome. This was a failed attempt though, because Scipio then attacked Carthage, forcing Hannibal to return home and defend his country.
