=The BeGiNiNg!!! = The Punic War was a series of three wars between Rome and Carthage. The Punic War got its name from the lating word " Punicus" meaning Carthaginian. The main reason for the punic wars was because one group wanted the existing Carthaginian Empire but then the other group wanted to expand the Roman Republic. At first Romans were mainly interested in expanding Sicily in Rome, though part of this was laying under Carthaginan control. Romans ended up defeating the Carthagtigians and got more land!!

= BaCkGrouNd = In 246BC Carthage was a large port- city located on the coast of modern Tunisia. This was founded by the Phoenicians in the middle of the 9th century. Carthage's navy was the largest one on the world at the time, but it didn't maintain the wealth, power or consistancy for the navy.Instead the Carthaginians relied on the Mercenaries, so they were hired with considerable wealth to fight in the wars. However the Carthaginians commanded everything.Carthaginians in a lower class woulod also serve in the war and this would provide them with a stable income and career. In 246BC the Roman Republic gained control of the Italian peninsula south of Po river. Unlike Carthage, Rome had large standing armies that made up of mostly all Roman citizens. = = ​
