Punic wars

Today in class we took the time to watch some of our class mates present their projects. It helped me get a better understanding of what the rap Mr. Schick made was saying. During the test i can just refer back to the pictures in my head for help if i need it.


(Map of the Punic War and routes)

• Two big islands are controlled by Carthage.
• Carthage tries to take over Sicily.
• Rome wins the first Punic war.
• Massing people (men, horses, elephants) and crossed over the Alps.
• So they didn't expect it, they tried a different route.
• You did not know if your land would still be there when you got back. 
• Younger men tried to take it over.
• Felt it was their duty right as they grew up into man hood to fight for your country and what you believe in.
• Got trained to do so from a very young age.
