How was Rome affected by the Punic Wars?
Apex is not a source. A source is eg Polybius, Livy or Plutarch who were historians of the period. Where do they say about more slave labour arising from the Punic Wars? The increase in use of slave labour came from the expansion of holdings of large landowners (including pinching common land), who used slaves in preference to free labour. This is a topic all of its own, and not as a direct result of the Punic Wars.
