Rome had imposed harsh penalties on Carthage in its bid to neutralise it and gain dominance of the Western Mediterranean. Carthage was such a resilient trader that it bounced back, so Rome created a crisis leading to the destruction of Carthage to eliminate its challenge. It sold the Caarthaginians into slavery and established a Roman military colony on the site to eliminate any chance of resurgence.

Rome began expanding into Eastern Europe, absorbed Macedonia and progressively added the Greek world to its empire, also including the Phoenicians.
