Cato was born of plebeian stock and fought as a military tribune in the Second Punic War. His oratorical and legal skills and his rigid morality attracted the notice of the patrician Lucius Valerius Flaccus, who helped him begin a political career at Rome.
The First Punic War (264 to 241 BC) was the first of three wars fought between Ancient Carthage and the Roman Republic.For more than 20 years, the two powers struggled for supremacy, primarily on the Mediterranean island of Sicily and its surrounding waters, and also in North Africa.he Romans called the series of wars between Rome and Carthage Punic because a Latin name for the Carthaginians was Punici. This is derived from Phoenici s (Phoenicians), and it refers to the Carthaginian heritage as Phoenician colonists. A Carthaginian name(s) for the conflicts does not survive in any records.
