Answer 1

The Punic Wars. The Punic Wars were fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC. Carthage was a large City located on the coast of North Africa. This sounds like a long way away at first, but Carthage was just a short sea voyage from Rome across the Mediterranean Sea.

The Punic Wars were wars between 264 BC and 146 BC between the Romans (Roman Empire ) and Carthaginians (Carthage, a state that had the land on the shores of Mediterranean, with a capital in Carthage in today's Tunisia.)

The correct answer is A.

Punic refers to the language spoken in Carthage.
