who brought the third punic war to a successful conclusion?
scipio aemilianus
as carthage fought with numidia without roman consent, the third punic war began when rome declared war against carthage in 149 bc. carthage resisted well at the first strike, with the participation of all the inhabitants of the city. however, carthage could not withstand the attack of scipio aemilianus, who entirely destroyed the city and its walls, enslaved and sold all the citizens and gained control of that region, which became the province of africa. thus ended the punic war period. all these wars resulted in rome's first overseas conquests (sicily, hispania and africa) and the rise of rome as a significant imperial power and began the end of democracy.

third punic war









































the third punic war (latin: "tertium bellum punicum") (149–146 bc) was the third and last of the punic wars fought between the former phoenician colony of carthage and the roman republic. the punic wars were named because of the roman name for carthaginians: "punici", or "poenici".
