The Punic Wars, fought between the great powers of Rome and Carthage, were the greatest series of conflicts of the ancient world. Vast armies fought across the Mediterranean and beyond to decide the fate of empires. Among those who would carve their name into legend was the Carthaginian Hannibal Barca, one of the finest generals of his age, who would cross the Alps to invade the Roman heartlands and come very near to destroying Rome herself. The Romans, meanwhile, would seek to establish and consolidate their domination of the Mediterranean, paving the way for future conquests.
