No single event marked Rome as the dominant power in the Mediterranean. It was more of a process than an event, one which involved victories in wars. One was the Pyrrrhic War. The First and Second Punic Wars established Rome's dominance in the western Mediterranean. The Roman-Syrian War and the Third and Fourth Macedonian Wars made Rome the great power in the eastern Mediterranean and the Third Mithridatic War ended challenges to her power and led to her dominance over Turkey and the Levant.
