The Punic Wars

The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC. These wars were the catalyst for the rise of the Roman Empire, as Rome emerged victorious and expanded its territories, gaining control over Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and Spain. The defeat of Carthage in the Third Punic War allowed Rome to assert its dominance in the Mediterranean region and establish itself as a major power.
