About this ebook

How did the Punic Wars determine the future of Rome and its empire? This book examines the Punic Wars, a series of three conflicts between Rome and Carthage that lasted from 264 BCE to 146 BCE. It discusses the causes of the wars, the key battles, and the major figures involved, including Hannibal of Carthage and Scipio Africanus of Rome. The narrative highlights the strategic military tactics employed during the wars, such as Hannibal’s crossing of the Alps, and the consequences of the wars for both empires. By analyzing the political, economic, and social effects of the Punic Wars, the book shows how Rome emerged as the dominant Mediterranean power, laying the groundwork for the expansion of its empire, while Carthage’s destruction marked the end of its imperial ambitions.
