The Romans treated Carthage with brutality after the Third Punic War mainly because Carthage posed a significant threat to Rome's hegemony in the region. By destroying Carthage completely, the Romans aimed to eliminate any future challenges from the city-state and set an example to deter other potential rivals. Additionally, the Romans had a longstanding animosity towards Carthage due to their previous conflicts, which fueled their harsh treatment.
