What made the armies of Carthage a possible threat to desert from battle?
Carthage was a powerful city state empire in the period before the first Punic War and also in the 2nd Punic War. Although they often had Carthage born military commanders such as Hannibal and Hamilcar, the military consisted of paid mercenary soldiers and commanders. This type of military had no particular loyalty to Carthage other than that they were paid to fight. If Carthage did not meet the pay demands or the army deserted rather then be captured by Romans, Carthage was always in a situation where their soldiers would desert.
How many soldiers did Rome have in the Punic war against Carthage?

Half of these were Roman Segmentum Legions (those armored men you usually see) the other half were composed of provincial soldiers called AuxillariesDuring the Punic Wars, rome was comparatively small, and limited to Italia and surrounding islands. According to 1 source (Brian Montgomery) rome had fielded around 90,000 total soldiers at the start of the 1st Punic War* However it is important to note that its allies in Greece and Dacia, a combined force of 200,000 could have been fielded (does not include navy)During the 2nd Punic Wars, Rome had controll of Sicily which provided them with 5 legions (18th, 19th 14th and 2 republic altasterai legions). Combined with its allies, the total amount of soldiers Rome and its allies could have been fielded is around 350,000 at the start of 2nd Punic WarIt is also important to note that Rome had heavy military losses from Hannibal, during the siege of Segmentum and Emporiae, and estimated 5000 men died from the siege.* Battle of Trebia, Rome lost 4 of its 6 legions (20,000 men killed)* Battle of Lake Tresimene, Rome lost 6 of its 7 legions (32,000 men killed)* Battle of Cannae, Rome deployed 10 Republican Legions as well as 8 allied legions to a total force of 90,000. As you would know, it was annhilated and around 75,000 soldiers were killedRome lost over 100,000 soldiers during the 2nd Punic Wars. Hannibal lost around 80,000 (Started with 100,000 in Baikor, and left with 18,000 at Tarentum)After the second Punic wars, several of its allies in Greece as well as Northern Sicily left the alliance. Rome was now at dire military reform. However, before the third Punic wars it was able to retrain and reform its army back to its numbers. 10 years later, it was again able to well over field 100,000 soldiers. Also, Sicily became a Roman province, as civilians were granted citizenship. The city of Capua was a huge recruitment ground for Roman soldiers at that time
