  1. punic war

    The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC. They were some of the largest wars in the ancient world and were known for their high casualty count. These wars culminated in the complete destruction of Carthage, the annexation of its territory by Rome, and the steep decline of the city's culture and civilization. The term "Punic" comes from the Latin word "Punicus," which means "Phoenician," as the inhabitants of Carthage were of Phoenician origin. These wars played a major role in expanding the power and influence of Rome in the Mediterranean region.
