Primus Pilus Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Good timing, the next chapter of the Roman History section is on the Punic Wars. Er, well the next several chapters, that is. Feel free to discuss though, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Speaking of which... The first chapter Punic Wars and Expansion has been added along with the First Punic War. Hopefully the whole thing will be posted soon, but I sometimes take diversions. Either way, it won't be long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Julius Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I think its fair to say that Rome became the dominant power of the Mediterranean, after the Punic Wars. Rome truely became a nation, and was well on it's way to becoming a great empire too. Even though it suffered setbacks; Hannibal destroyed an army, or two, Rome had the resources (manpower, etc.), to recoup her losses. It would seem that the Roman capacity to endure hardship, was more than evident here. This quality would later serve Rome well, as she expanded her empire.

Viggen Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hello Gaius, Yup, it was amazing how the romans recovered again and again of the many losses they suffered from Hannibal. btw we expanded our Punic Wars section conciderable since primuspilus last mentioned it. more about Punic Wars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favonius Cornelius Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 The Punic Wars are interesting to me in that each can be seen as generally focused on a particular area of the art of war. The first known for its great sea battles, the second with Hannibal, Scipio and their land battles, and the third the siege of Carthage. It's as if the two great powers had to test each other in each to prove who is the most mighty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
