Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization

Richard Miles charts the entire history of Carthage, from its founding as a Phoenician colony in modern-day Tunisia to its total destruction by Rome in 146 BC. This masterful work explores how Carthage became a Mediterranean superpower, how Hannibal almost brought Rome to its knees, and why the Romans were so determined to obliterate every trace of Punic civilization.
