The Destruction Of Carthage: Why Ancient Rome Feared Their Great Rival | Carthage | Timeline

Carthage was Rome's equal, rival and almost her conqueror. In 146 BC Roman general Scipio destroyed the city of Carthage so painstakingly and utterly that not a single building was left standing.
What did the Romans so fear about the Carthaginians that in the end they would be prompted to the most terrible acts of reprisal in the ancient world? A new archaeological dig by Dr Richard Miles of Cambridge University, penetrates the burned layer of this Roman holocaust and uncovers fresh evidence.

    There is a close battle that the Prophet Muhammad told us about is the battle of Dabiq, it is an area near the Levant in Palestine, where the battlefield will be between the Romans and Muslims. Romanians, Westerners or Easters, for example, are they currently from Europe, America or Russia, but according to the opinion of scholars and researchers, some agreed that what is meant is uncle from Russia and what proves this blame, they control the Middle East because the Islamic caliphate is not established to defend the Arabs and Muslims

    When Carthage failed to take over Sicily it signed its own long term Death Warrant - for without Sicily Carthage would lack population (farming citizen-soldier population). The move from a citizen army (mentioned by Aristotle - in the old days no one could vote in Carthage unless they had first undertaken military service), to a mercenary army that could defeat Rome in battles - but never, in the end, in a war. The Carthaginians had been appalled by their losses in the wars with the Greeks in Sicily - but, by trying to avoid losses (by turning away from a citizen-soldier culture) the Carthaginians made sure that, in the end, their losses would be TOTAL. Ironically the Romans themselves turned away from a culture of citizen soldiers - thus signing its own long term Death Warrant.

    You understand that the Roman Emperor Constatine (the guy that established the Religion) and his Priests made edits to the texts and the Roman Religion isn't what Jesus/Yeshua was teaching + he was a Practicing Jew and a Rabbi. It takes the History of the era, and an open mind + time to explore. Just your choice, to be Religion or to search for what Jesus taught. Either way, as long as you have clarity, are positively supported by your beliefs, and realize your self worth, ✓ Positive is absent of fear. Religion and then there's our personal, spiritual, experience and practice. Religion is organized and established by man, your spiritual is your direct link to God, Creator, Source of all. Take your time and trust your intuition and logic. Jesus will Guide you to what you seek, just ask and trust. 😘

People in those times loved to embellish themselves compared to "the others" - savages, barbarians etc. Carthaginians did the same to Rome.

    The Carthaginians were hated by the Greeks long before the Romans entered the scene. The Punic were seen as an evil race. Some of it comes from their (occasional) human sacrifices, which both the Romans and the Greeks had in disgust, but there's more. For example, sentencing your best general to crucifixion just because he's too popular with his mercenary troops after a victorious campaign in the name of Carthage. It happened more than once. Even the great Hannibal, he went to exile not because of the Romans but because the Carthaginian senate really were a crazy ungrateful untrustworthy bunch. Now that I think of it, I know of another crazy bunch like that: the Venitians. These merchant people just don't play by the rules. (I have great admiration for Carthage, I just like to play the devil's advocate.)

Then the Phoenician survivors fled to Venice and Genoa. Before they were known as Phoenicians, they lived in present-day Lebanon and we're called Caanites. Same folks, still no better behaved.

    I like the book “ The Great Controversy “ by e.g. White it’s from a religious perspective but covers before earth to eternity. Covers everything in between. It’s said to be in the White House and distributed widely to politicians and royals and as many people as possible. In my opinion it’s the best information known to mankind.

    A 15 year campaign in Rome. That's literally enough time for boys to grow up to become soldiers, more than enough time to create entire new armies consisting of a new generation of soldiers. Hannibal's own soldiers would have started to hit middle-age at the end of the Italian campaign. There was no way Hannibal was ever going to defeat Rome by himself after that length of time.

    Thats right, technically after cannae, Hannibal suffered heavy losses and he calculated that even if hen tried sieging Rome another army would be assembled to end him for good. His men were very low on morale and exhausted, Rome just kept on sending armies, sadly even if we would make excuses, Carthage and Hannibal could not have winned the 2nd punic war.

    Hannibal at Cannae?? I was staggered that for a presenter eager to tell the Carthaginian story he barely mentioned Hannibal’s incredible military supremacy in winning all battles in Europe including his total annihilation of the Romans at Cannae! It was arguably the most brilliant, and bloody victory by any military leader in the ancient world and ranks up there with Alexs victory against Darius at Guagemala and against Porus at Hydaspes. Hannibal’s only defeat was at Zama, supported by the treachery of his own people.

Not only did Rome destroy all of Carthage's buildings, but they sowed the soil with salt so Carthage could NOT grow any crops. Rome accomplished its survival purpose as demonstrated by the fact that there was never a 4th Punic War.... objective undeniably fulfilled.

    Hannibal really took the meaning of "holding a grudge" to a whole new level when he marched with elephants from Spain all the way to Rome. That looks like a massive hike if you just look at the distance on a map, imagine how long and arduous it was in real life. And the ironic part of it is that in the end, after all that effort, Hannibal still didn't achieve anything significant in terms of inflicting any serious damage on Rome's power.

    You missed a few key details, after his first major victory, one of Hannable's allies insisted that he head right for Rome, use that victory to it's fullest and take Rome while its stunned and demoralized. Hannibal knew his limitations and that Rome had a huge wall around it, it was heavily fortified. When Rome finally defeated Hannibal they did not want to just kill him, Rome had a habit of parading their enemies through the streets and torturing them long before they kill them.

    There is so many historical inaccuracies here... Most important - (1) by the time of the 1st Punic conflict, there is no reason to believe that anybody considered Rome an upstart. It had already defeated Greek armies on the battlefield and conquered Greek cities in Italy. (2) Sicily has its own history. The Romans never agreed to let it be if the Carthaginians would let Italy be. Sicily was contested by the Carthaginians, the Greeks and the native Sicilians. The complication came about when disbanded Roman and Italian soldiers formed an enterprise to own a Sicilian city and succeeded introducing a 4th faction into the conflict and providing Rome with an excuse to intervene in Sicily (because they feared that Carthage was going to win Sicily). (3) Historians provide none of his ignorant and wholly made up 'fear and greed' motives. They simply state that the Roman state 'feared' or, more so, 'believed' that it was Carthage's intention to surround Rome and isolate them. Either Rome fought to prevent the encirclement in Siciliy or Rome would have a harder fight at some later point. Polybius is the most credible source on the matter... just read. (4) Exterminating cities was not as profound in that era. He should have been more clear that many cities received the treatment that Carthage got instead of making this seem unprecedented. I think people need to know that they are being lied to by a presenter that is either ignorant or dishonest. Don't take this seriously, it appears to only be entertainment.

    Fire with fire. Carthage basically did a slaughter in Spain. They were conquering and destroying several Iberian tribes. One of those tribes were trade partners to the Roman republic and war followed. Hannibal showed the world Rome was mortal. Hannibal killed more people then the Romans did in Carthage. Two major wars and 1 smaller one and not to forget Hannibal aided the Seleucids in war against Rome. They destroyed the city. Which is a very normal choice for a republic of that strength and in that time.

    There are some glaring errors in this. The colosseum wasn't built until way after the third punic war, 216 years after to be exact. The Roman Empire wouldn't have even have been a conceivable notion to the Romans at the end of the Punic Wars either. And Hannibal had no chance of sieging Rome, he intentionally avoided sieges throughout his campaign because of that. Through skill and luck he repeatedly outwitted the Romans but had he stopped in order to siege a city Rome could bring overwhelming numbers to bear on him.

If they had not negotiated a peace with Rome Hannibal would had broke through the gates of Rome. Rome did not negotiate in good faith. A year later they were off the coast of Africa ready to come ashore. they came and they killed all those who negotiated with Hannibal behind his back. They burnt down the city and salted land.

Yes "Had Rome Under Siege." Never happened "If they had not negotiated a peace with Rome Hannibal would had broke through the gates of Rome. No, he lacked the tools necessary to ever siege Rome itself. If anything, Rome's meteoric recovery and rise after Hannibal just goes to show how little he really affected them.

    @@lucasstemba I just wanted to credit Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus who took the Agnomen Cuncator (delayer) for his tactic against Hannibal of attacking his supply lines and only engaging in minor skirmishing attacks. This held Hannibal back long enough for Scipio Africanus to wreak havoc in Iberia. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintus_Fabius_Maximus_Verrucosus I understand that only something like one in ten military age Romans survived Cannae and the other two major battles (whose names escape me), so understandable that Cato the Elder was so insistent that Carthage had to be destroyed..

    Hannibal at cannae 2 August 216 BC managed sourond and to slaughter over 67,000 Romans while hannibal only had about 50,000 in total. This made rome panic but when the Carthaginian fleet with supplies lost Hannibal had no choice but raid through Italy. But after a few more years Hannibal got called back home when the romans surprised Carthage with an army in africa on Carthaginian home land. But when the Roman army led by Publius Cornelius Scipio at the battle of zama 19:th of October 202 bc manged to defeat Hannibal. Hannibal got banished due to this and Carthage got forced to sign an unimaginable harsh treaty

    @@LifeAdviceSite Yeah but he completely ignores the terrible misdeeds of Carthaginian empire building while accusing the Romans of the very same thing. It's bizarre and completely biased history. Sure, tell the story of Carthage but don't pretend they were something that they were not, because they were certainly no more virtuous in their political life and military conduct than the Romans were. And it's a blatant lie to say they were.

    We know about the Carthaginian culture only from Roman and Greek descriptions. Both Rome and Greece hated and envied Carthage. It is very likely that the child sacrifice cult and other horrific allegations are false. Carthaginians were first to develop sophisticated alphabet and iron manufacturing, spoke Hebrew and were very close to the other Hebrews, including the Israelites. They were probably descendants of the Dan tribe as they were originally Phoenicians. One century later, the Romans puled the same massacre to the Jews, but with less success. However, the Romans invented antisemitism against the Jews, which is alive and well to this day and beyond. Negative statements against the Carthaginians of which you know very little, is similar to gratuitous antisemitism.
