Rome dominated the Western Mediterranean.
Rome's acsendency in the Eastern Mediterranean was partly due to the victory in the Punic wars because afterwards Rome waged war on Macedonia and won. It was further enhanced by the victories of Sulla and Pompey and finalized by Octavian's conquest of Egypt.
The Romans and Carthaginians clashed in the First and Second Punic Wars primarily due to territorial disputes and competition for dominance in the Mediterranean. The First Punic War (264-241 BCE) was sparked by a conflict over control of Sicily, a strategically important island. The Second Punic War (218-201 BCE) arose from ongoing tensions, particularly after Carthaginian general Hannibal's attack on Rome's ally, Saguntum, as well as Rome's desire to curb Carthaginian expansion in Spain. These wars ultimately stemmed from both powers' aspirations for supremacy in the region.

Throughout history, there have been countless wars, with estimates suggesting thousands of conflicts spanning from ancient times to the present. Major wars, such as the Peloponnesian War, the Punic Wars, and various conquests by empires like the Romans, Persians, and Mongols, were significant in shaping civilizations. Additionally, smaller skirmishes and tribal conflicts were common. Overall, the exact number is difficult to determine due to the varying scales and records of historical conflicts.
Oh, dude, the Punic Wars were like a trilogy of ancient battles between Rome and Carthage. Casualties? Yeah, there were casualties. Like, thousands of soldiers probably didn't make it out alive. But, like, I don't have an exact number for you. You can Google that if you're really into numbers and stuff.
Most historians break up the conflict between Carthage and Rome war into two or three separate conflicts. The First occurred from 264-241 BC the Second from 218 - 201BC and the Third lasted from 148- 146 BC. Some either combine the last two or ignore the last one all together, as the Third was more of a siege on New Carthage proper then a full-scale war.Three.
Exactly why there are wars today. But to answer your question, Rome fought wars to expand and to conquer. They fought the Carthaginians in the Punic wars because they hated each other. But even those wars was started due to Romans expanding.
