As a result of the wars with Carthage, Rome gained mastery of the western Mediterranean area and, in punishing Macedonia for siding with Carthage, drew itself into the east where it became mor and more embroiled until it finally came dominate the whole Mediterranean and Middle East.
Carthage lost and Rome became the dominant power in the Western Mediterranean. And as Macedonia had intervened on the Carthaginian side, it gave Rome an excuse to begin a push into Eastern Europe.
Following Rome's victories over Carthage and the Greek allies of Carthage, there were problems that many kingdoms and "wanna be" empires would be glad to have. After the demise of Carthage and Rome's conquest of Greek areas in the Eastern Mediterranean, the main problem was what to do with all the wealth and power it had attained. Of course one could say a problem was "how to protect its war gotten gains". History tells us that Rome had yet to begin to stretch its empire to even greater lengths. ancient Rome' s real problems developed centuries later when it had to do all it could to keep its empire.
The destruction of Carthage was the result of the third and final Punic war. However the term "destruction" should be taken in a wide sense, as the city itself was huge and the Romans would certainly not spend their time and resources actually destroying it. Rather, they enslaved many of the people, put to death the leaders of the revolt , imposed monetary penalties, and scattered salt around the gates and walls of the city as a symbol of Carthage's destruction.
