The First Punic War arose from Rome's ambition to expand beyond the Italian peninsula into Sicily, where Carthage was trying to impose control. The two had been allies until this confrontation.

It imposed a heavy 50-year annual financial penalty designed to paralyse the city-state. However a resilient Carthage paid it off after 10 years, and so Rome looked to a permanent termination of Carthage's challenge, resulting in the Third Punic War and Carthage's elimination.
