183 BCE

The Romans, by unknown means, finally put themselves in a position to demand the surrender of Hannibal when Roman diplomat Titus Quinctius Flamininus is sent to the court of Prusias of Bithynia, to demand the surrender of the former Carthaginian diplomat and general Hannibal.

When Hannibal finds out that Prusias is about to agree to the Roman demands and thus betray him, and unable this time to escape, he poisons himself in the Bithynian village of Libyssa.

The year is uncertain but is probably 183.
