Rome's quest for empire or expansion goes way, way back before the more famous wars such as the Punic Wars. When Rome was nothing more than a small town, they had a long war with the Etruscans who ruled the city of Veii, which was across the Tiber from Rome. In 396 BC Rome captured Veii which doubled Rome's territory and was a stepping-stone for Rome to conquer the surrounding territory of Latinum.
Rome and Carthage fought the three Punic Wars.
