There have been three Punic wars. The wars was fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC. And if you are wondering, Carthage is a city in the coast of North Africa. Also they both were major powers at the time and these wars were caused by them both wanting to expand their empires. The first war ended in 241 BC and it was mostly over who could get the island sicily, which was in the water and that gave carthage the advantage. This is why Rome created the corvus, which won them this war.
The second war started in 218 BC and ended in 201 BC. The leader of the Carthage in this war was the general hannibal, who also made a daring cross in the middle of the winter to attack Rome. He brought elephants with him when he attacked Rome.
