Hannibal Barca.

Colony is the political unit. This was in Carthage.

It was normal that the Roman general who defeated them would negotiate the settlement with the Senate, becoming their patron and getting the best deal he could. With Carthage, after two wars, where the resilient Carthaginians bounced back, Rome went for a final solution after the third war, levelled the city and sold its people into slavery. It then established a colony of retired army veterans on the site to clinch the deal.

Rome and Carthage.

The Roman general Scipio defeated the Carthaginians under Hannibal at the battle of Zama in Africa. Scipio was awarded the honorific name Africanus for his victory.

Its people were sold into slavery, and it was turned into a place to resettle retired Roman soldiers.

Carthage is not an island, but is near the Mediterranean Sea.

no it does not

The first of the three Punic Wars fought by Rome and Carthage was over the control of Sicily.

Carthage was a trading city, not an imperial one. In consequence it was not in the business of conquest. Rather it used trading cities which acted as entrepots for different areas in North Africa and Spain and in Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily and other islands.

Its military activities were in defence of its trading areas. It had a bad experience in Sicily in 480 BCE against the Greek cities, losing most of its young men, and thereafter stayed away from land conflict as much as it could, relying on its dominant fleet. For land battles it used mercenaries to avoid a repeat of the Sicily disaster.

As a result of the wars with Carthage, Rome gained mastery of the western Mediterranean area and, in punishing Macedonia for siding with Carthage, drew itself into the east where it became mor and more embroiled until it finally came dominate the whole Mediterranean and Middle East.

Initially Corsica and Sardinia, but their struggle was for control of the Western Mediterranean.

Rome benefitted from her victory in the Third Punic War (149-146 BC) less than from her victories in the previous two Punic Wars. By then Rome had already taken over Carthage's overseas territories, her navy had achieved naval superiority in the western Mediterranean and she had broken Carthage's military power. In 146 BC Rome took over the remaining territories of Carthage, her home ones, Tunisia and western Libya. However, territorial gains were not main aim of Rome. What she wanted was the destruction of Carthage. Her major gain was that now Rome asserted herself as the dominant power in the whole of the Mediterranean. In the same year Rome also annexed mainland Greece.

Rome benefitted more from her victories in the First and Second Punic Wars (364-241 BC and 218-201 BC) which were the events through which she became the dominant power in the Mediterranean. In the first war, Rome forced Syracuse, the most powerful of the Greek city-states in eastern and southern Sicily, to become a Roman ally and took over Carthage's ports in western Sicily. Soon afterwards she seized Sardinia and Corsica, which were Carthaginian possessions. These three islands were crucial for the control of the sea routes of the western Mediterranean. During this war Rome also built a fleet which in the course of the second war proved to be the dominant fleet in the western basin of the Mediterranean. In the Second Punic War Rome took over the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain, gaining complete control of the western Mediterranean and depriving Carthage of her main source of wealth, the silver mines of Spain. She also made an alliance with Carthage's Numidian neighbours in Algeria, who defected to Rome. With the peace treaty Rome demilitarised Carthage, reduced her navy to ten ships and imposed a fifty-year war indemnity.

Punic comes from the Latin word Poenicus, which was their rendition of Phoenician. Carthage was originally a Phoenician colony (from the city of Tyre).

Phoenicia - the Levant.
