Imagine you are a Roman in the year 264 BCE (the year of the 1st Punic War). What does your future look like? Then, look at the world around you today. What does your future look like? Think about politics, technology, culture, dominance, balance.
If I were a Roman during this harsh time period, I probably would not have a very strong looking future. The war going on was very hard, confining people to their particular areas. It was also a evenly matched war and almost confusing. This was a very difficult time to grow up in, especially for women. Many people lost family members because of large numbers lost in battle. Rome was in favor to win these battles because of their massive army. Politics were strewn everywhere since the war brought on new ideas. Technology was also pushed to the next level because of different ways to use things were established. Technology was greatly affected by the war, more war machines were created, opening opportunities. The balance, was very hard because each force was equal to the other.
