Technically it should've beaten Rome in the first two punic wars if it wasn't the complete mismanagement by their senate. First punic war they disbanded their navy and Hannibal literally beat every Roman army he faced in Italy but Carthage didn't want to send reinforcement because they were afraid he would become too powerful. So they chose complete annhiliation over Hannbal being their leader. So...I am giving Carthage zero credit. They got what they deserved.

Hannibal didnt have enough seige experience and his plan to make Rome's allies abandon them failed. Reinforcements would put more pressure for sure, but would it change anything? Even after the losses at lake Trebia, Trasimene, Cannae and many more Rome still had the ability to recruit enough soldiers to follow Hannibal and take back towns, stop reinforcements at their borders and invade hispania, later north Africa.

I feel as if this could have gone a lot differently if the Roman’s intervened at Numidia then allowed Carthage to trade again might have boosted their relationship. But it still was wise to destroy the ever hating empire that was already ripping itself apart with all the policies, put the creature out of its misery.

6:15 it can be argued that Scipio Aemilianus, not Tiberius Gracchus, was the one who truly ignited what we now call the Roman Revolution. It was Aemilianus first leveraged his popularity with the people to oppose the Senate.

To be completely honest, I actually feel bad for Carthage.

The reason carthage lost the punic wars was because they had no will. Rome was willing to lose 200k+ soldiers have their lands sacked and still never gave in. Carthage loses one battle on their territory and instantly gives in to rome. Carthage had hannibal, but Rome had an unbreakable resolve. Which is the strongest characteristic of all humanity. You can have intelligence, you can have talent. But if you dont have resolve you will lose.

Scipio was an adopted grandson, not a blood relative. Although adoption seemed to often work out better than blood relatives for the Romans. Numidia would have seemed to be a threat to Rome. Theirs was the famed calvary that cut Rome to pieces and Rome was always weak in that area without mercenaries. If Numidia had conquered Carthage at some point while I don't know that they could have been a legitimate threat to Rome at this point it could have been another costly war. And you have to understand Rome had a ton of enemies (that they generally made themselves). Had the Macedonians helped Hannibal in a serious way it is likely that Rome could have been defeated at that time. Later on if say Egypt and Numidia attacked at the same time I'm not so sure Rome couldn't have survived it, but empires aren't interest in the probably and likely. Anyway, if it there was a logical reason to take Carthage it would be the potential threat from Numidia, not Carthage. The fact that they held out for three years is more due to the fact that Carthaginians realized it was a war of extermination at this point. The Germans even had trouble quelling a few tens of thousands of Jews with virtually no weapons in Warsaw once they finally realized what their fate was.

Carthage was done so dirty

Destruction of Carthage established Rome as Mediterranean Superpower, but it adversely affected their geography, economy and politics. Roman population increased, hence people were moving to New lands conquered by Rome, which included Carthage. But Cato, Conductor of Carthage destruction Orchestra, used it as his symbol for power and prestige, not letting any Roman to rebuild Carthage. People of Rome were angry with this act, affecting Cato's popularity. Hence Cato put all the blame of Carthage destruction on Scipio, who was following Cato's orders. Scipio was criticised by Roman population, affecting him adversely. Scipio left Rome and died in an Island, once part of Carthage, his sworn enemy. Only after 100 yrs of destruction of Carthage, Julius Caesar re-established it, naming it Roman Carthage.

The Roman Empire was much more important to European history than it was to African history, and this video is explicitly about Roman history, not African geography. Roman culture was much more widespread than Mauretanian (spelling differs) culture, and was based in the larger Mediterranean and European world. Many aspects of Roman culture persist today in much of Europe. Modern Mauritania (if it's even contiguous with ancient Mauretania, the maps are inconsistent) is completely culturally Muslim and I highly doubt that a lot of pre-Islamic, much less Roman/Carthaginian, culture is present today. As for cartography, Mauritania is not the only empty spot on the map in the video.
