Answer
Fabius Maximus strategically avoided large-scale clashes with Hannibal's army. Instead, he employed a strategy of attrition, known as the Fabian strategy, which involved harassing the Carthaginian forces with small-scale attacks and ambushes while avoiding direct confrontations. This strategy aimed to weaken Hannibal's army gradually without risking a decisive battle that could potentially result in heavy Roman losses.
