Original sentence: Although Rome had won the First Punic War, revanchism prevailed in Carthage, symbolised by the alleged pledge that Hannibal made to his father to never be a friend of Rome
Edited sentence: Although Rome is viewed as having won the First Punic War due to the favorable terms agreed by Carthage, Rome’s appetite was never satisfied leading to the parties facing a second conflict: this time on the Iberian peninsula rather than in Sicily.Having tired of the border to which it had agreed and envious of the silver which enriched Carthage, Rome arbitrarily shifted the border south to provoke conflict.The elder Barca was proven correct: Rome could never be trusted to abide by any treaty or strive for any peace.The sense that future conflict was destined is often symbolized by the alleged pledge that Hannibal made to his father to never be a friend of Rome
