Challenges in the Levant resulted in Phoenicia forming trading colonies around the Mediterranean. The colony at Carthage developed into the capital of the Punic empire in the Southwest Mediterranean. The 1st Punic War (264–241 BC) was the first of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage, the two emerging powers of the western Mediterranean in the early 3rd century BC. For 23 years, in the longest continuous conflict and greatest naval war of antiquity, the two powers struggled for supremacy. This course is based in part on lectures by Professor Eve MacDonald from her course, Hannibal The Military Genius Who Almost Conquered Rome. Her lectures will be supplemented with maps and YouTube videos.
