Carthage was a trading city, not an imperial one. In consequence it was not in the business of conquest. Rather it used trading cities which acted as entrepots for different areas in North Africa and Spain and in Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily and other islands.
Its military activities were in defence of its trading areas. It had a bad experience in Sicily in 480 BCE against the Greek cities, losing most of its young men, and thereafter stayed away from land conflict as much as it could, relying on its dominant fleet. For land battles it used mercenaries to avoid a repeat of the Sicily disaster.
