Description
From its origins among the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as the greatest sea power in the Mediterranean, the struggle to the death between Carthage and Rome was one of the defining dramas of the ancient world. By its end, the last great threat to Roman supremacy was no more, fulfilling Cato the Elder's demand that "Carthage must be destroyed."
