Who allied himself with Antiochus before fleeing to King Prusias?

Hannibal is recognized for his strategic alliances during the conflicts of the Hellenistic period. Before fleeing to King Prusias, he allied himself with Antiochus III in order to assist in his campaigns against the Romans. This alliance was pivotal as it brought together Hannibal's military expertise and Antiochus's resources in an effort to confront Rome.

Hannibal sought refuge with various kings in the wake of his defeat in the Second Punic War, and his connection with Antiochus exemplified this desire to continue opposing Rome. This decision reflects Hannibal's enduring ambition and the broader geopolitical landscape of the time, wherein various leaders sought to counterbalance Rome's power through alliances. Other figures mentioned, such as Xanthippus and Regulus, did not have similar alliances with Antiochus. Carthage, while significant in Hannibal's past, does not represent a personal alliance in this context.
