Explanation:

The victory of Zama was very important for the Roman Empire, its development, and its influence. This victory was the last one of the Punic Wars with Carthage. The victory ended the Carthaginians, and with it their dominance in the western Mediterranean. As the Carthaginians were wiped out, the Romans took the opportunity to impose themselves as the dominant force in the western Mediterranean, and that turned out to be very easy, as with Carthage out of the way, there wasn't any other force to oppose them. As the Romans became dominant in this region, they started to impose their culture, and gradually that led to large scale acceptance of their culture, leaving a Roman heritage for centuries to come.
