Today in class we took more notes and went over what was going to be on the test. The Roman legion consisted of 5,000 troops that were not payed but forced to serve in the military like the plebs. There is a group of eighty in a century. Punic Wars. There were three of them and Rome won all of them. Carthage attacked Rome and they did not have enough military experience and men to destroy Rome. 2nd Punic War this time Hannibal decided to go west word across two mountains and pick up men and elephants because the romans thought they would attack Rome but instead the attacked from the West which through them off but somehow Rome won. 3rd Punic War this time Rome decided I have had enough and went to Carthage and burned in down for 17 days straight and took 50,000 slaves with them. At the end Rome had over a million slaves in Italy were they went to auction.
