The Punic Wars & Spartacus Lesson XXIII

The First Punic War Lesson 23 part 1

In the 200's B. C. Rome was conquering Italy In the 200's B.C. Rome was conquering Italy. Another power, Carthage, existed on the opposite side of the Mediterranean.

It was a wealthy Phoenician city located on the Mediterranean coast in the middle of North Africa. It traded with cities all around the Mediterranean. Carthage and Rome became fierce enemies and fought 3 long and bloody wars over which power would control the Mediterranean.

The bustling port of Carthage — elephant tusks and exotic animals for the Roman circuses

The teeming harbor of Carthage was one of the busiest in the entire Mediterranean world.

Carthaginian items of trade included cosmetics, jewelry, fine ceramics, and purple cloth from Tyre.

THE 1st PUNIC (PYOO nihk) WAR By the 200s B.C., Carthage had towns it controlled on Sicily (the large island at the toe of Italy). That was too close for the Romans

When Carthage moved into Messina in northern Sicily the local Greek cities under Rome's protection cried out to Rome for help.

Rome feared Carthage would gain complete control of the island and then move against Rome itself.

In 246 B.C., the two powers went to war. This war became known as the first Punic war. Punici was the Roman word for "people of Carthage".

The people fought on land and sea The people fought on land and sea. Rome had a stronger army and soon controlled Sicily's land. But Carthage had a stronger navy and controlled Sicily's coast .

Rome, being very inferior and inexperienced in sea battles had to think quickly. After finding an abandoned Carthaginian warship they built 100 duplicates in 60 days.They soon built over 200 warships and won huge victories at sea.

They also developed a strategy where they invented a large hook like drawbridge called the Corvus, Crow, or Raven which was a kind of wooden walkway with a sharp spike at the end. The crow was held upright until the Romans pulled their ship up next to an enemy ship.

Then they quickly lowered the crow so the spike stuck on the enemy ship's deck. The crow served as a bridge for the Roman soldiers to get on to the enemy ship easily. This could allow 120 soldiers to march onto the vessel.

After winning many victories the Romans lost 200 of their ships and 100,000 men to very violent storms off Camarina in 255 BC.They soon regrouped and defeated Carthage in 241 BC with their fleet of warships.

It took approximately 20 years for the Romans to drive the Carthaginians out of Sicily. This would mark Rome's first overseas territory

The first Punic war lasted 23 years The first Punic war lasted 23 years. Carthage had a hard time, but Rome could handle the heavy losses of men because of it's huge army and loyal allies.

By 241 B.C., the Carthaginian army, led by General Hamilcar Barca, surrendered. The Carthaginians had to pay a large sum of money known as an "indemnity" to Rome for the costs of the war. Rome began to take over the Mediterranean world.
