What was ancient Carthage known for?

There is not much of a "Carthaginian" Carthage legacy. Carthage was destroyed in 146 BC by the Romans in the Third Punic War. it was rebuilt 150-200 years later as a Roman town and became the second largest Roman city in the western part of the Roman Empire and one of the seven largest ones in the whole empire. There is a legacy of Roman Carthage and the Roman province of Africa (today's Tunisia, western Libya and part of eastern Algeria). This was the area where Latin of western Christianity originated. This became the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire, while the main one in the eastern part was Greek or Eastern Christianity. Later these two churches came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively.

How did the punic wars lead to the fall of the roman empire?

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.
