Rome carried out three wars over 120 years, defeating Carthage in each one.
The first they learnt to match Carthaginian sea-supremacy.
After the second they imposed a crippling 50-year financial indemnity to restrich its ability to have and effective force as Carthage relied on mercenary soldiers.
Carthaginians were such good traders they had the indemnity covered withinin ten years, raising fears in Rome, which used its North African allies to harras the city.
Eventually war broke out again, and Rome decided to end the problem by destroying the city and selling its people into slavery.

Why did rome have enemies?
Everybody! :) They were at war with about all their neigbors all the time. They fought the German tribes, the British tribes, the French tribes, the Northern Greeks, Romanian and Hungarian sorts, the people of the Russian steppe, the Iranians, the Iraqis, the Turks... you get the idea. There were all sorts of barbaric tribes that Rome fought. They were less advanced technologically and, for the most part, easily beaten. Historically, the Romans had real trouble with the Huns, the Goths, the Carthaginians, and the Parthians. Everybody else was just a nuisance to be beaten to plant another Roman flag on the ground.
