They were called Punic Wars, not Panic Wars. They were three wars fought between Rome and Carthage (264-41 BC, 218-201 BC and 149-146 BC)_. The first one was over the control of Sicily. The Romans won and seized western Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica from Carthage. In the Second War the Carthaginian general Hannibal invaded Italy and routed the armies of the Romans and their allies three times, but the he lost. This war was also fought in the Carthaginian territories in southern Spain which Rome took over by defeating the Carthaginians there as well. The third war was fought because Rome wanted to destroy Carthage.
