The correct options are: A - D

It is known by the name of the Punic wars to the three armed conflicts that faced between years 264 a. C. and 146 a. C. to the two main powers of the western Mediterranean of the time: Rome and Carthage. At the outbreak of the conflict greatly influenced the annexation by Rome of Magna Grecia, in the south of the Italian peninsula, but the main cause of the conflict between the two was the conflict of interests between the colonies of Carthage and the expansion of the Republic of Rome.

In Ancient Rome, the social order of the patricians was composed of the descendants of the thirty primitive curias. The name comes from pater (father), in reference to the founders, that is, to the first parents of Rome. He is the senator par excellence and is part of the primitive nobility of Rome, called nobility of blood and ilustrii or nobilitas patritii, and cultural substrate of all Europe. Around the emperor and patriarchal senators will develop all the Roman society, culture and civilization that will culminate in the Roman Empire.
