3 OVERSEAS EXPANSION DURING THE PUNIC WARS  During the 2 nd Period of Expansion, Rome fought three wars with Carthage known as the Punic Wars  Rome was dragged into this conflict after conquering Greek cities in Southern Italy who were fighting against the Carthaginians

4 THE 1 ST PUNIC WAR  The 1 st Punic War began in 264 BC and was fought mostly on the seas near Italy and Africa.  Carthage had a powerful navy, but Rome stole the model for their ships, assembled a navy of their own, and defeated the Carthaginians in 241 BC  As a reward for winning, Rome claimed several islands including Sicily.

5 THE 2 ND PUNIC WAR  The 2 nd Punic War began in 218 BC when the Carthaginians decided to attack Rome directly  A Carthaginian general by the name of Hannibal would become a famous adversary to Rome by battling them for 15 consecutive years
