I need help making this "BAd?'?

can you please help me make this so it doesn't look like i plagiarized

I had 2 hours until school i just couldn't do it without plagiarizing



Rome Was a very good land army, They trained all day all night. Rome was not very good at sea battles but Rome trained on land how to row the boat and they practiced for weeks until the war came. They had used a technique that made the fight a lot easier they used a plank to cross their ship into cartages ship so they could have a fight on their ship and basically made it a land fight. About carthage Carthage was a city-state on the Greek model that had been founded by Phoenicians from Tyre in the 8th century. It was the strongest city in the Western Mediterranean by the 3rd century and its wealth rested on trade. Carthaginian merchants went from one end of the Mediterranean to the other, the citys fleets were huge and its army was one of the best in the ancient world.

It was Carthage that pried loose the Greek hold on the western ports, and Carthaginian merchants traded as far north as England for Cornish tin and down the West African coast for gold and ivory. Like Rome, Carthage learned how to make use of the manpower of its conquered peoples, incorporating them into the Carthaginian army as auxiliaries. Unlike Rome, but like the Greeks, the Carthaginians also made extensive use of mercenaries. By the early 200 Carthage had expanded not only across North Africa but had control of the Belearic Islands, Sardinia, Corsica, and much of Sicily. She took the goods from these regions, and her own fertile hinterland, and shipped them to eastern ports. Once Rome had conquered most of Italy, it was only a matter of time before these two ambitious and powerful empires came face to face with one another. But both sides drifted unintentionally into hostilities, with drastic consequences for both.

Rome was not a naval power and had little or no experience in war at sea. Before the first Punic war the Roman Republic had not campaigned outside the Italian Peninsula. The Republic's military strength was on land and her greatest assets were the discipline and courage of her soldiers. The boarding-bridge allowed her to use her marines against the superior Carthaginian naval skills. The Romans application of boarding tactics worked; they won several battles, most notably tho tyndaris and ecnomus

Despite its advantages, the boarding bridge had serious drawbacks: it could not be used in rough seas since the stable connection of two working ships endangered each others structure. Operating in rough seas, the device became useless and was abandoned. According to Bone breaker Professor of Naval Architecture at Delft with the estimated weight of one ton for the boarding bridge it is most improbable that the stability of a with a is placement of about 250m would be seriously upset

Some other historians believe that its weight on the prow compromised the ship's navigability and the Romans lost almost two entire fleets to storms in 255 and in 249 largely due to the instability caused by the device. These losses were probably the main reason for the abandonment of the boarding ridge in ship design by the end of the war. As Roman improved and the Roman crews became more experienced the boarding-bridge was no longer used in battle. It is not mentioned in period sources after the battle of Ecnomus and apparently the that decided the first Punic war was won without

They did not choose to make this ship they had to because in the war they had to have a Sea fight, They had tactics that made them Have a land battle basically and they made a custom plank that dropped down on the enemies ship and they all rushed in and killed them. They constructed this ship with wood, they did not use it until they learned how to row the boat and use itI need help making this "BAd?'?
You should have done your homework earlier....I need help making this "BAd?'?
plagerizing is bad and illegal. you should be ashamed of yourself
