Rome's main rival for control of the Mediterranean Sea was Carthage. The two powers clashed in the Punic Wars, a series of three conflicts that ultimately led to Carthage's defeat and destruction in 146 BCE. The rivalry was marked by significant battles, including the famous Battle of Cannae and the naval Battle of Zama, which solidified Rome's dominance over the western Mediterranean. Following this victory, Rome expanded its influence and control across the entire Mediterranean region.
