They were three separate wars about 50 years apart - a struggle for supremacy in the Western Mediterranean

The first 264-241 BCE saw land power Rome develop a navy to beat the hitherto superior Carthaginian fleet.

The second war 218-201 BCE saw Rome defeat Carthage on land and impose crippling 50-year indemnity of it to neutralise it.

The third 149-146 BCE saw Rome, facing a resurgent Carthage, go for a final solution by destroying the city and selling its people into slavery.
