Rome's rivalry with Carthage intensified over control of the strategic island of Sicily, leading to military confrontations. The ingenuity of Roman tactics, like the corvus, and their naval advancements, showcased their military prowess. Ultimately, the Roman victory in these wars reshaped the ancient world.
