Punic fleet

The Punic fleet was the naval force of Carthage, a powerful ancient city in North Africa. It was renowned for its skilled shipbuilders and formidable navy, which enabled Carthage to control key Mediterranean trade routes and project military power. The fleet played a crucial role in conflicts with Rome during the Punic Wars, especially in battles like the Battle of Cannae and the Battle of the Aegates Islands. Its strength and strategic prowess made it one of the most effective maritime forces of the ancient world until it was eventually defeated by Rome.
