Macedonia.
The First Macedonian War was separate for the Second Punic War. It was fought in Greece, not Italy or Spain. Macedon did not fight alongside Carthage. Philip of Macedon made an alliance with Hannibal, but his intention was to invade southern Illyria, next door to Greece. His aims were different than that of Carthage. Rome intervened to protect her interests in Illyria.
Those who fought with Carthage were Carthage's allies: the Numidians in Algeria, the Mauritanians in northern Morocco, the Turdetani in southern Spain and the Iberians in the eastern coast of Spain.
After the First Punic War Carthage decided to stop relying on mercenaries and expanded across northwest Africa, southern Spain and much eastern Spain. Their expansion followed the Roman model. They established Carthaginian colonies (settlements) in the new areas of domination and formed a network of military alliances with the locals. This was the way Carthage was able to form a pool of military manpower comparable in size to that of Rome. The allies formed a much bigger part of the Carthaginian army than in the case of the Roman army as Carthage's population base was smaller than Rome's. The Carthaginian cavalry was in the main a Numidian cavalry as Numidians were formidable horsemen. The bulk of the infantrymen were the Turdetani and Iberians. When Scipio Africanus finally defeated the Carthaginians in Spain, this deprived them of the large manpower from Spain, which was a key factor in bringing Hannibal's campaign in Italy to a dead end.
There were three Punic Wars between 264 and 146 BCE over domination of the Western Mediterranean.

Carthage
Over control of the Western Mediterranean.

During the First, Second and Third Punic Wars, the Roman Republic fought the city of Carthage and its surrounding territories. Ancient Carthage was founded by sea faring Phoenicians around 814 BCE. In 650 BCE Carthage gained its independence and became a major regional power in the Mediterranean. Carthage controlled large colonies in Northern Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, Corsica, Sardina and other territories during much of its existence. Eventually the growth of the Roman Republic brought it into conflict with the Carthaginians. The two powers fought the Punic Wars over the course of 120 years from 264BCE to 146BCE. At the end of the Third Punic War, the Roman forces destroyed Carthage and razed the city to the ground.
