Best Answer

The prize was domination of the Western Mediterranean.

The cost to Rome was loss of many of its soldiers who made up its farming class, leading to the use of non-landowners who relied on their generals to look after them after military service, giving the general power which resulted in the Civil Wars.

The final cost to Carthage was extermination - its people sold into slavery.

The costs of the Punic Wars were immense, as they resulted in massive casualties on both sides and led to widespread destruction. Economically, the wars drained resources and disrupted trade. However, the benefits for Rome were significant, as they gained control over the western Mediterranean, expanding their empire and securing valuable resources. Additionally, the wars helped solidify Rome's military reputation and strengthened their position as a dominant power in the ancient world.
