Part of the Second Punic War was Hannibal's invasion of Italy.

Yes , that was exactly what happened . Despite all the effort on land, it was the fighting at sea that decided the outcome of the war. At the start of the war, Carthage was by far the greater naval power, with what was probably close to a standing navy, while Rome herself had no navy, instead relying on those of her allies that had a naval tradition. It was these allies that provided the navy used to transport the first Roman army to Sicily in 264. Only in 260 did Rome decide to build her own fleet, of 120 ships. These ships were said to be copied from a captured Carthaginian ship, and the higher individual performance of Carthage's ships was probably due to the superior quality of their crews. The bulk of the ships on both sides were quinqueremes, or 'fives', probably with three banks or oars. The main tactic of naval warfare at this point was the boarding attack, after which marines crossed over to fight on the target galley, probably in part explaining why the Romans did so well. These ships had a very large crew, in the Roman case some 300 men plus marines, resulting in the very large numbers of men present at some of the naval battles of the war. The new Roman fleets were to win a series of great naval victories, but suffer a shocking level of losses to storm and wreck .

The Western Mediterranean.

Tunisia. Carthage was being repeatedly attacked by Numidia (in Algeria) a client state of Rome. When she finished paying her war indemnity, Carthage fought against the Numidians. Rome was worried about Carthage's renewed military power and anti-Roman agitations in Spain and Greece. Rome demanded Carthage to be demolished and rebuilt further inland as an excuse to declare war. Carthage refused. The Romans landed in Tunisia, besieged the city, breached its walls and burned it to the ground.

The Long-Term Impact of the Punic War is that they made Rome the dominant power of the Mediterranean. Good-Luck, and I'm 100% sure as I just took the Quiz in Connexus.

After Rome sold the inhabitants of Carthage into slavery, and destroyed the city, in order to ensure that it would never be a problem again, there wasn't much compromise available.

It gave Rome dominance in the Western Mediterranean, and began its embroilent in the Eastern Mediterranean.

While the soldier-farmers were away on duty, the large land owners purloined the common land on which they relied to supplement their small farms leading to disruptions which helped bring on the Civil Wars.

Hannibal was a Carthaginian general who was a sworn enemy of Rome. He is famous for attacking Rome from the north by crossing the Alps with war elephants.

Marcus Atilius Regulus was one of them.

They didn't. The Punic Wars, fought in the second and third centuries BCE, were between Carthage and the Roman Republic. The empire began over a hundred years after the end of the third and last Punic War (149-146 BCE). The fall of the Roman Empire (in the West, anyway), occurred almost 500 years after its founding (27 BCE), by which time Carthage had been destroyed, rebuilt, made part of the Roman empire and abandoned to the Vandals.
