Carthage…
The heir to the civilization of the Phoenician sailors, who founded many colonies.
The richest city on the Western Coast of Africa, possessing a powerful fleet and a combat -ready army.
The trading power that dominated the region long before the arrival of the Romans.
And yet “Carthage must be destroyed!”
Why not submissive, not won, namely erased from the face of the earth?
For what reasons, the existence of Carthage became so unbearable for its main competitor – the young Roman Republic?
The historian and archaeologist Richard Miles answers these and other questions in his fascinating book.
