I don't know why you say the Romans "loved" Hannibal; he attempted to invade Rome itself. After he failed, the extremely pissed-off Roman Emperor (Julius Caesar) led an invasion fleet across the Mediterranean and completely destroyed Carthage - even salting the surrounding fields so nothing would grow. There is nothing in Tunisia today to indicate there was ever a city there and there are no streets named after Hannibal anywhere in that country.
...and he sure wore silly looking hats.
