Answer
Rome gained Spain during the Punic Wars.
Key Concept
Territorial expansion after the Punic Wars
Explanation
During the Punic Wars, Rome fought against the Carthaginian Empire for control over the western Mediterranean. The Second Punic War, in particular, was marked by Hannibal's famous campaign into Italy. However, after the wars, Rome emerged victorious and expanded its territory significantly. By the end of the Third Punic War, Rome had destroyed Carthage and gained control over many of its territories, including the region of Hispania (modern-day Spain), which became a Roman province. This expansion solidified Rome's power in the Mediterranean and contributed to its transformation from a republic to an empire.
