PoD#1 The Romans win the 1st punic war even more one-sidedly, they make the carthaginians pay them even more, they also take Sardinia, Corsica, the balearic islands and those smaller islands closer to mainland tunisia. This makes the carthaginian elite feel more threatened, and more angry, so they support their generals more in the 2nd punic war (the lack of this support was a major disadvantage to Hannibal Barca IOTL). They assist them enough to just make the 2nd punic war more evenly matched than IOTL, if it weren't for the other PoD (considering they lost more territory in the first punic war)
PoD#2 Hamilcar lives on until he's 60, thanks to his help, and him guiding Hannibal even longer, they're able to pull out the win.
How much of the Roman Republic does carthage conquer? What does this mean for the rest of history?
