- 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.
