The Romans also conscripted conquered soldiers into their legions. E. Napp

The Punic Wars In 264 B.C., Rome came into conflict with another great Mediterranean power-the Phoenician city of Carthage in North Africa. In three Punic Wars, Rome struggled with Carthage for control of the Western Mediterranean Sea. Ultimately, Rome destroyed Carthage. E. Napp

During the second Punic War, the great Carthaginian general, Hannibal, attacked Rome from the North. E. Napp

Initially, Hannibal experienced military success. However, he could not conquer the Italian peninsula. E. Napp

Hannibal even used elephants in his military campaign. E. Napp

A Total Defeat Ultimately, Rome destroyed Carthage. The Roman army ruined the land of Carthage and sold its surviving people into slavery. The Romans became kings of the Mediterranean Sea. E. Napp

increasingly powerful As the Roman army experienced greater success, Roman generals became increasingly powerful and popular. Generals, like Julius Caesar, wanted more power. E. Napp

The End of the Republic As generals became increasingly powerful, Rome ceased to be a republic and became an empire. An empire is a state that rules over different cultures. Eventually, an emperor ruled Rome. E. Napp

Senators assassinated Julius Caesar threatened to seize power and become a dictator. However, Senators assassinated him in 44 B.C. E. Napp

Eventually, Caesar’s adopted son, Octavian, became the first Roman emperor. He was called Augustus Caesar and his rule began a long period of peace in the Roman Empire known as the Pax Romana or Roman Peace. E. Napp

Questions for Reflection: Why was the Roman army successful? What were the Punic Wars? How did Rome treat Carthage after its victory? Who was Julius Caesar and what did he do? Why did Rome become an empire? Who was Augustus Caesar and what was the Pax Romana? E. Napp
