The Western Mediterranean.
Tunisia. Carthage was being repeatedly attacked by Numidia (in Algeria) a client state of Rome. When she finished paying her war indemnity, Carthage fought against the Numidians. Rome was worried about Carthage's renewed military power and anti-Roman agitations in Spain and Greece. Rome demanded Carthage to be demolished and rebuilt further inland as an excuse to declare war. Carthage refused. The Romans landed in Tunisia, besieged the city, breached its walls and burned it to the ground.
