The Punic Wars and the Roman Empire
Do you know what the starting point of the Roman Empire was? How did they begin to expand until they became one of the largest empires ever known? The Punic Wars (264 - 146 BC) were the first major wars of Roman expansion, after the domination of the Italian Peninsula. Carthage, a city in North Africa founded by the Phoenicians, was a commercial power at the time. The Punic Wars were a dispute between Carthage and Rome over the region of Sicily and Carthage, with all its commercial strength across the Mediterranean Sea. The Roman victory would be a milestone for expansion, and from then on, other battles were fought to reach the size of the Empire that the Mediterranean once knew. And you? Did you know that the Punic Wars are a milestone for the beginning of the expansion of the Roman Empire? It even appeared on the ENEM exam, do you want to see the correction of this question here? Comment, I want to know, and don't forget to follow for more.
