Four questions in such a short time! If you learn as fast as you type you'll have no problems. Don't you have books or access to Wikipedia ? Punic is from the Greek for Phoenician but the Romans called the city Carthago ( sometimes Karthago or Kartago) and the people Punici.We call the city Carthage.There's a start. In the second one Hannibal turned up with a lot of elephants, which is about the only thing that we old people (who may have studied the subject for two years, over 40 years ago,that being part of what was called a classical education) can still remember !
In the second punic war hannibal invaded spain, this was his only way of getting to Rome because of Romes large navy. Hannibal travelled north through spain and then headed east towards the alps. Many elephants died on this long journey crossing the mountains.
