From 264 to 241 BCE, Rome fought the First Punic War against:
  1. Troy
  2. Athens

  5. Carthage
Explanation
Answer: E - From 264 to 241 BCE, Rome fought Carthage (in present-day Tunisia) in the First Punic War. The war primarily concerned power over the western part of the Mediterranean region, including some of the islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Carthage was the leading power in the region until Rome challenged them. As the Roman Republic continued expanding its realm, Second and Third Punic Wars followed, with the latter ending in 146 BCE. Rome won each one of the three conflicts. They added the islands Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica to their territorial claim following the First Punic War.
