They didn't. The Punic Wars, fought in the second and third centuries BCE, were between Carthage and the Roman Republic. The empire began over a hundred years after the end of the third and last Punic War (149-146 BCE). The fall of the Roman Empire (in the West, anyway), occurred almost 500 years after its founding (27 BCE), by which time Carthage had been destroyed, rebuilt, made part of the Roman empire and abandoned to the Vandals.

What factors lead to the decline and fall of the Rome empire?

Three? A recent German study has come up with 210 reasons for the decline and fall of the Roman empire. (Don't worry, I won't list them all) Three of the main reasons were a population shift which caused pressure on the borders. The population shift came about because Germanic tribes were being pushed into Roman territory by Asian tribes. The Roman army at the fall, was weak and apathetic as there was no incentive for a strong army, such as loot and Roman citizenship for the auxiliaries. There was, in addition, a monetary factor, as more money left the empire than was taken in, due to excessive consumerism.


How did the fall of the Roman Empire lead to different forms of worship?

It did not. Different forms of worship existed durning the empire. The Romans tolerated the religions of the conquered people, though Christianity was pesecuted several times. This was because it spread throughout the empire (while the others were localised) and, unlike the other religions of the time, it was monotheistic. The various forms of Chrisitanity developed before the fall of the empire. No new religions developed out of the fall of the empire.


Military casuse of the fall of Rome?

The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a process. Many factors contributed to this. The main one was the invasions by Germanic peoples (Vandals, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians). This part of the empire crumbled under the weight of these invasions. It lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurpations. The Romans were unable to respond to the invasions militarily. Within some eighty years all the lands of this part of the empire were lost. Many historians think that prior to the fall of this part of the empire there was a decline of the Roman Empire as a whole.
