The Punic Wars: Rome vs. Carthage - A Battle for Control and Dominance

The Punic Wars, a series of conflicts between Rome and Carthage, were characterized by fierce battles for supremacy, particularly over Sicily. The First Punic War (264-241 BC) saw Rome emerge victorious, gaining control of Sicily, Corsica, and Sardinia, which significantly boosted their trade and military strength. In Round Two, during the Second Punic War (219-202 BC), Hannibal devised a bold strategy, famously crossing the Alps with 82 elephants to challenge Roman dominance. These wars shaped the future of the Mediterranean and solidified Roman power.
