Carthage, the port-city in Tunisia first settled by Phoenicians
from Tyre, grew to extend a competitive maritime trading empire all
over the Western Mediterranean and beyond, increasingly defended by
the best navy of the period. In the 6th century BC this came into
confrontation with Greek colonists in Sicily, starting major wars
that lasted through the 5th and 4th centuries, and involved much
interaction with different Greek forces. During the 3rd century
Carthage first clashed with Roman armies, and in the course of
three wars that raged over Spain, Sicily and Italy the Romans
suffered the greatest defeats in their early history at the hands
of Hamilcar, Hannibal and Hasdrubal Barca, leading multinational
armies of North Africans and Europeans.
