Taking over territory which had been dominated by Carthaginian traders, imposing a 50-year annual indemnity, and finally selling the Carthaginian people into slavery and establishing a Roman veteran's colony on the site of Carthage.
In 63 BC Rome was at peace but was in the middle of the conspiracy of Cataline. You could say that the Romans "conquered" the senators of the conspiracy and the rag-tag army that Cataline was supposed to have gathered. Incidentally, 63 BC was also the year that Octavian/Augustus was born.
The excuse that Rome used to declare war was the fact that Carthage raised an army to defend herself against territorial encroachments by the Numidians, their next door neighbours, without consulting Rome. Under the terms of the peace treaty Carthage was demilitarised and she was not allowed to raise an army without Rome's consent. Carthage thought that when she finished paying a 50-year war indemnity to Rome she had fulfilled the peace treaty and was free form it. There was a political faction in Rome which wanted to destroy Carthage to eliminate this rival because she had recovered economically after the second war. They were worried about Carthage's economic resurgence.

The Romans burned Carthage in the year 146 BC (or BCE) at the conclusion of the Third Punic War.

Rome and Carthage.
Most historians cite the year 814 BC BCE as the founding of the city state of Carthage. Historians generally post Carthage's foundation from Phoenicians from Tyre in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Carthage's location was close the modern country of Tunis. The Phoenicians were a Semitic people and a seafaring people as well. The name "Phoenician" was what they were called by the Greeks. The Romans called them "Poeni" from which the term Punic is derived.
None of these. The home of the Hebrews was Israel. After the year 70 CE, when they were kicked out of Israel, The Romans renamed it "Palestine" (but the home of the Hebrews was never called Palestine).
