Rome had hoped to impose such harsh penalties on Carthage that it would lapse into insignificance and not be able to challenge Rome's control over the Mediterranean. The Carthaginians were so resilient that they overcame this and remained as a rival. Rome decided to end this for once and for all, declared war, captured Carthage and sold its people into slavery as a final solution.
