It is known by the name of the Punic wars to the three armed conflicts that faced between years 264 a. C. and 146 a. C. to the two main powers of the western Mediterranean of the time: Rome and Carthage. At the outbreak of the conflict greatly influenced the annexation by Rome of Magna Grecia, in the south of the Italian peninsula, but the main cause of the conflict between the two was the conflict of interests between the colonies of Carthage and the expansion of the Republic of Rome. The first shock occurred on the island of Sicily, partially under Carthaginian control. At the beginning of the first Punic War, Carthage was the dominant power in the western Mediterranean Sea, controlling an extensive maritime empire, while Rome was the emerging power in the center of the Italic peninsula. At the end of the third Punic war, and after decades of conflict, Rome conquered all the Carthaginian possessions and razed the city of Carthage, its capital, with which the Carthaginian faction disappeared from history.

Rome thus became the most powerful state in the western Mediterranean, which added to the end of the Macedonian wars and the defeat of the Seleucid emperor Antiochus III Megas in the Roman-Syrian war in the eastern Mediterranean, turned the Roman Republic into power dominant in the Mediterranean. The overwhelming defeat of Carthage meant a turning point that caused the knowledge of the ancient Mediterranean civilizations to pass to the modern world through Europe instead of Africa.
