Notes Continued

Roman Legion
Legion- 5000 men
Century- 80 men (like the phalanx)
Infantry- soldiers on foot carried short arms
Cavalry- soldiers on horse back

Punic Wars- Rome vs. Carthage
Rome won all 3 Wars
First Punic War- fought over Sicily
Second Punic War- fought over Hannibal.
Third Punic War- Destroy Carthage. Rome didn’t want to wait for Carthage to get ready for the battle and get more men so they laid waste (wiped out) and destroyed everything in Carthage


  • Carthage is in  North Africa
