- Both Rome and Carthage are expanding and want to control Sicily. Rome has no naval experience, but when a Carthaginian ship washes up on the shore, the Romans copy it, and uses a boarding device called the corvus to make use of land tactics at sea.

- Rome didn't want Carthage to establish colonies in Spain, so they sent troops to help the rebels. Carthage got mad, and sent Hannibal, their best general, to attack Rome.

- Rome wasn't satisfied with their win in the Second Punic War, and wanted to destroy Carthage for good.

- Hannibal's attack on Rome started off as being successful, but when Rome attacks Carthage, Hannibal returns home. After Carthage loses the battle of Zama, Rome gains Spain and another huge sum of money.
