1st Punic War 264-261 BC
2nd Punic War 218-201 BC
the Punic wars.(Rome vs Carthage)
A struggle of three wars spanning 120 years for control of the Western Mediterranean between Rome and Carthage. Rome won all three, and then exterminated Carthage, selling its people into slavery to prevent a further resurgence.
When Carthage and Rome were allies, Carthage was a sea power, Rome a land power. Rome had to organise a fleet when war broke out with Carthage.
Carthage in today's Tunisia, Rome in Italy !!
Rome and Carthage are separated by the Mediterranean Sea.
They were not 'in Rome. It was Rome vs Carthage. Rome won all three. Rome became dominant in the Western Mediterranean and began to become involved in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Carthage observed its treaties with Rome, and the conditions which Rome imposed on it after defeating Carthage in the first two wars. Rome was determined to stop Carthage's retaining economic power which inhibited Rome's expansion. Rome arranged for its allies to attack Carthage, and when Carthage defended itself, Rome declared it had broken its treaty, invaded and captured Carthage, destroying the city and selling its population into slavery to finally get rid of a resilient rival.
