The Punic Wars Of Romawi

Roman Republic was the phase of ancient Roman culture which is marked by republican form of government. The period starts from the overthrow of the Roman Republic Roman Empire (ca. 509 BC), and followed by a variety of civil war. In the Roman Republic is also famous war called Punic War between the Roman Republic with the Empire of Carthage. Exactly when did the Roman Republic ended still not been approved by the historians, depending on the definition used. Some historians have suggested the appointment of Julius Caesar as dictator for life in 44 BC), and others propose the Battle of Actium (2 September 31 BC), and others propose granting full powers to Octavianus on 16 January 27 BC as the date of expiration of the founding of the Roman Republic and Empire Romans.

Government of Roman Republic is governed by custom, tradition and law. Broadly speaking, the government is run jointly by three parties: two consuls, the senate, and class Pleb.

The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 B.C to 146 B.C. At the time, they were probably the largest wars that had ever taken place. The term Punic comes from the Latin word Punicus (or Poenicus), meaning "Carthaginian", with reference to the Carthaginians' Phoenician ancestry.

The main cause of the Punic Wars was the conflict of interests between the existing Carthaginian Empire and the expanding Roman Republic. The Romans were initially interested in expansion via Sicily (which at that time was a cultural melting pot), part of which lay under Carthaginian control. At the start of the first Punic War, Carthage was the dominant power of the Western Mediterranean, with an extensive maritime empire, while Rome was the rapidly ascending power in Italy, but lacked the naval power of Carthage. By the end of the third war, after more than a hundred years and the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both sides, Rome had conquered Carthage's empire and razed the city, becoming the most powerful state of the Western Mediterranean. With the end of the Macedonian wars — which ran concurrently with the Punic Wars — and the defeat of the Seleucid King Antiochus III the Great in the Roman–Syrian War (Treaty of Apamea, 188 BC) in the eastern sea, Rome emerged as the dominant Mediterranean power and one of the most powerful cities in the classical world.
