The Punic Wars were between Rome and its allies and Carthage and its allies. They occurred in the 3rd and 2nd Centuries BCE, after Sparta and Athens were no longer military powers of any significance, and the struggle in the western Mediterranean was of no interest to them anyway. Macedonia did intervene on the Carthaginina side in the Second Punic War, and after Carthage's defeat in 204 BCE, Rome attacked and defeated Macedonia in retaliation. This was the beginning of Roman interest, intervention, and conquest of the eastern Mediterranean.
