The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage.The main cause of the Punic Wars was the conflicts of interest between the existing Carthaginian Empire and the expanding Roman Republic.

The horse passed away in 326 B.C. and most people agreed the horse died from old age not from battle wounds but no one really knows this for sure.
