201 BC| c. 400 BC–AD c. 250 | Central America [everyday life] | The Late Formative (or pre-Classic) period of Mayan culture takes place in Mexico. By 400 BC, large structures have been built at several sites in the tropical lowland jungle. In the highlands, people begin to put up large clay platforms, some the basis for temples and others for elite houses, flanking open plazas. | | 201 BC | Rome, Carthage [Punic Wars (265–149 BC)] | Rome and Carthage sign a peace treaty to end formally the Second Punic War. The peace terms are harsh: Carthage has to surrender all but 10 ships of its great fleet, pay an indemnity of 10,000 talents, allow the Numidian prince Masinissa independence as king of Numidia, give up Spain to Rome, and refrain from warmongering without Rome's approval. The Romans then oust the Carthaginians from Malta. |
