LO2 notes

The Romans were very generous when they defeated people and they were enemies. The Romans tightened their control over the Italian peninsula by creating a network of colonies of settlers from Rome. Roman forces increased in strength and striking power in step with their conquests. In time, allies began to demand full interrogation with Rome.The Punic Wars were waged on land and sea in three vicious rounds between 264 and 146 B.C. Fearing Carthaginian revival Rome provoked a third war and in 146 B.C. Carthage was captured after bitter fighting.  The former possessions of Carthage in Sicily, Spain, and Africa became the first Roman provinces. Rome gained a stronghold on the people around them as well. Around 200 B.C. ambassadors from various Greek- city states appealed to Rome for aid in resisting the king of Macedonia who had been allied with Carthage. A proletarian was in ancient Rome, a property-less but voting citizen.
