In the peace treaty after The First Punic War Carthage had to: give up her territories in western Sicily, some small islands west of it (the Aegadian Islands) some other small islands north of it (the Aeolian Islands and Ustica) and the small islands between Sicily and Africa (Pantelleria, Linosa, Lampedusa, Lampione and Malta) and evacuate them; not attack the Greek city of Syracuse (in eastern Sicily, the most powerful city in the island) and her allies; return their prisoners of war without ransom, while paying heavy ransom on their own; pay an indemnity of 2,200 talent (66 tons) of silver in ten annual instalments and an additional indemnity of 1,000 talents (30 tons) immediately.
In the peace treaty after the Second Punic War Carthage was demilitarised and was forbidden from raising an army without Rome’s permission; her navy was limited to just 10 ships to be used against piracy; she had to pay a war indemnity of 10,000 to be paid in fifty annual instalments.
In the Second Punic War, Carthage also lost her territories in southern Spain when her armies there were defeated by the Romans led by Scipio Africanus four years before the end of the war.
