Because Carthage was its one remaining big competitor for power over the Western Mediterranen at the time. It was richer than Rome and controlled large areas in North Africa, Spain, southern France and Sicily. It took three wars because the Romans were out to completely destroy Carthage as a nation and as a competitor.

Why were the Romans eventually able to conquer ancient Greece?
The Romans were very good at implementing technologies from neighboring cultures. They were mostly farmers in the beginning, making them a healthy and strong stock. Their aggresive culture, coupled with their strength and technological superiority made them a powerful force. They worked hard to conquer Italy, but when it was time for them to expand, there were no other powers in the world with the resources or military might nearby to defeat them. Once they defeated Carthage, there was no nation nearby or anywhere else in sight that could beat them for a long time. They used their superiority to beat nation after nation in a domino effect. That's why, in my opinion. Some believe it is because of their brutality (they wiped out and enslaved entire peoples without opposition), some believe that the Romans were just more intelligent (not true; their cultural intelligence came from Greece, who didn't amount to much internationally). I hope I helped.
