Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reference to two prolonged wars with a rival in the Western Mediterranean indicates the conflict between Rome and Carthage, known as the Punic Wars. The Romans ultimately emerged victorious, and by 200 B.C.E. they had established themselves as the dominant power in the Western Mediterranean. The other options, such as Lebanon, Israel, Persia, and the Scythians, do not fit the description of a prolonged war with Rome in the Western Mediterranean.
