This episode talks about the Punic wars, and how Rome went from a small faction in the Italian peninsular to controlling most of the western Mediterranean, with special guest Christopher Kearney. Was it this war that brought Rome to become the superpower we all know, or was this a small war that didn’t affect Roman history much?
