The Punic Wars
OH no! The Romans are coming!
RUNNN!
The Punic Wars, called Bella Punica by the Romans, were the wars between Carthage and the Roman Republic. These powers came into conflict with each other as their spheres of influence both expanded into the western half of the Mediterranean. The first fighting broke out after the Romans sent an army to Sicily, an island that was under Carthaginian influence under an earlier contract. Both made frequent use of local allies, who were rarely reliable. Carthage initially had the upper hand, but Rome proved to have the longest breath. Three wars were fought between the Carthaginians and the Romans between 264 and 146 BC.

The Fall of The Roman Empire
have you already heard it? People believe that the end of Rome is coming!
Really??!!
The roman republic fell after the Punic wars when the government didn't work out for the empire. The long years of war taught the Romans that the way to get wealth and power was to conquer an army. The government didn't do any good for the Roman empire and soon a patrician named Julius Caesar became Rome's powerful dictator. Caesar got assassinated. Many of these dictators ended up being killed in a brutally way.

Pax Romana
Finally, peace and no war.
Thats because of us!
The Pax Romana was a state of peace that lasted from 27 BCE to 180 AD. This was also known as the golden age for Rome. A tranquility that was, admittedly, closely guarded by a superior standing army of more than thirty legions that was mobile and could be deployed fairly quickly. The whole was supported by a well-organized system of government, well-maintained administration and a uniform functioning judiciary, excellent logistics, well-maintained infrastructure and pragmatic politics.
