Explanation: The Third Punic War happened after Carthage, reduced to a city-state, had already lost an entire army against a neighboring kingdom of raiders. At which point Rome decided that Carthage had illegally defended themselves without permission, and sent a few legions to capture and sack Carthage, destroying the polity once and for all.

It was a bit of a dick move against a minor power.
