Product Description
- The Punic Wars were a series of conflicts fought between the Roman Republic and Carthage for dominance in the Mediterranean Sea from the 3rd to 2nd centuries BC.
- Punic is the Latin word for Phoenician (Carthage was a Phoenician colonial city-state), and it was this name that the Romans used to refer to the Carthaginians.
- From the Roman landing on Sicily in 264 BC to the fall of Carthage in 146 BC, three wars were fought.
- As a result of Rome's victory in this war, it gained control of the seas in the Western Mediterranean and many provinces. However, the prolonged war and the influx of slaves and cheap grain from the provinces made it difficult to maintain the republic, and this became an opportunity for Rome to transition to an empire.
