Rome - Punic Wars

Today in class we took more notes on Rome from the power point in class. We talked a lot about the wars Rome fought in. They fought in three Punic wars, the first was from (264 -241 BCE) and Rome won. The second war was from (218 -201 BCE) this was when Hannibal tried to attack Rome from the North, but did not succeed in getting there. The third, and final Punic War was from (149 - 146 BCE) The Romans got tired of the Carthaginians and wanted them to be destroyed. The finally took everything from them, including their 50,000 slaves back to Rome. If Carthage would have entered into Rome. Things would have been a lot different now, Hannibal would have changed history.
