Rome, a rising land power learnt in the First Punic War to fight at sea, and became attractive as an ally to cities and tribes opposed to Carthaginian expansion. Rome both exploited this and was exploited by it.

This rivalry and manoeuvering on both sides and by the other states led to the Second Punic War, which came down to an open contest for dominance between the two principals.
