Explanation:

The Punic Wars were a series of three ancient wars (from 264 to 146 BC) between the sea and commercial power of Carthage and the young Roman Empire, which emerged victorious from this conflict.

The Carthaginians were a long-established seafaring people that controlled the western Mediterranean. Carthage, located in what is now Tunisia. When Rome saw an opportunity to get a bridgehead in Sicily, Carthage confronted it because it saw their own possessions in the west of the island at risk. This initial local conflict expanded into a struggle for hegemony in the western Mediterranean during the First and Second Punic Wars. It lasted 43 years and was operated by both sides vigorously and with great resources.  

Although Rome was on the brink of defeat several times, it ultimately won both wars due to its ultimately superior human and material reserves, whereas Carthage emerged from it in a noticeably weakened manner. Nevertheless, the Roman conservatives under Marcus Porcius Cato the Elder allegedly feared the enemy's resuscitation and massively favored Carthage's North African rivals. Finally, the Romans eliminated the Carthaginian state in the Third Punic War, which ended in 146 BC.
