	Third Punic War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Third Punic War (149 to 146 BC) was the third and last of the Punic Wars fought between the former Phoenician colony of Carthage, and the Roman Republic.
		In the years between the Second and Third Punic War, Rome was engaged in the conquest of the Hellenistic empires to the east (see Macedonian Wars, Illyrian Wars, and Antiochus III) and ruthlessly suppressing the Iberian people in the west, although they had been essential to the Roman success in the Second Punic War.
		The peace treaty at the end of the Second Punic War required that all border disputes involving Carthage be arbitrated by the Roman Senate and required Carthage to get explicit Roman approval before arming its citizens, or hiring a mercenary force.

		The Punic War was won in Spain, but it could have been lost in Italy -- though by the time Hasdrubal arrived it was too late; Carthaginian victory at the Metaurus might have prolonged the war, but it wouldn't have won it.
		Of course, Pericles died in the second year of the war, and the war was quite balanced at that time, but i think his strategy was followed until the Nicias Peace.

		An interest in the way that wars were actually fought is evident here, with three articles that specifically address the nature of battle (by John Lazenby, Sabin and Philip Rawlings), and a fourth on the war at sea (by Rankov).
		While studies of war were aimed at the reconstruction of maneuvers on the field of battle, there was very little that the historian wary of conjecture could reasonably offer.
		Sabin confines himself to the battles of the Second Punic war, but his study of the nature of the battlefield has enormous implications for the general study of Roman imperialism.

		5 This period of disturbance comprises, firstly the war waged by Rome against the Celtiberians and Vaccaei, that between Carthage and Massinissa the King of the Libyans and that between Attalus and Prusias in Asia.
		The second was the crossing of Agesilaus, King of Sparta, to Asia, where he found no opposition of any moment to his projects, and was only compelled to return without effecting anything owing to the disturbances in Greece.
		Of the fact that Hamilcar, although he died ten years before the beginning of the Second Punic War, contributed much to its origin many evidences can be found; but the anecdote I am about to relate suffices, I think, to confirm this.
