Apart from the Punic Wars,

The Pincer Movement... the strategy used in Earth's Second Punic War against the Roman Republic at the Battle of Cannae.

We may recall the action taken by Scipio Africanus Minor in the second century B.C. After taking Carthage in the course of the Third Punic War, he decided to return to Sicily the wealth that had been taken from it as a result of repeated pillaging by the Carthaginians.

Throughout the ages war has had severe consequences on the environment, from the destruction of orchards in biblical times or the salting of fertile land during the Punic Wars to the scarring of vast portions of land caused by trench warfare and the use of massive quantities of explosives in the First World War.
