today in west civ we learned a lot about the punic wars. there were three wars, one was a naval type battle that took place on the sea, the next was the war where the romans were invaded by the Carthaginians from the north with elephants, the last battle lasted only 4 years and it was when the romans invaded carthage to completely delete the threat from the south. they took over 50,000 child slaves and then rome and Italy was flooded with slaves later on
