What former enemy of ancient Rome forced Rome to build a navy for war and later to protect commercial shipping in the Mediterraen Sea?
The question is presents a problem in that there was no former enemy that forced Rome to build a navy. Below is the information needed to answer this question correctly. Carthage was a dominate commercial empire in the western Mediterranean Sea. Carthage was also an empire that protected its commercial shipping with a strong naval fleet. Prior to 264 BC BCE Rome and Carthage had signed various treaties that if held true would have kept Rome and Carthage at peace with each other for a longer time than it did. When problems developed in Sicily between each nations interests, the First Punic War began in 264. The Romans realized that to win this war required them to build a naval force to combat the navy of Carthage. After much trial and error Rome did so and later used its naval fleet to protect its own commercial commerce in the Mediterranean Sea.
Who wins the punic wars?
The Roman Empire won the Punic Wars because their military on land was much stronger and they were quick to build up their navy. Carthage initially had a much stronger and bigger navy, but they were quickly rivaled by ambitious Rome. Also, they usually hired mercenaries with their wealth to fight for them which was one of the major factors in their downfall. -the person who answered your question :) :) :)
