Product Description
- The Punic Wars were a series of wars fought between the Roman Republic and Carthage for supremacy in the Mediterranean Sea between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC.
- Punic means Phoenician in Latin, which is how the Romans called the Carthaginians.
- Carthage was a colonial city-state founded by the Phoenicians on the north coast of Africa, and fought against the city-state of Rome over three periods for more than 100 years starting in the mid-3rd century BC.
- Carthage was a maritime nation whose citizens joined the navy but not the army, so they employed many Libyan mercenaries from North Africa.
- Equipped with large shields, helmets, and long spears, Libyan mercenaries fought in close formations (phalanxes).
