Description
Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Mediterranean Civilization by Richard Miles is a gripping narrative that explores the epic struggle between two mighty empires: Carthage and Rome. The book chronicles the devastating battles that shaped the Mediterranean, culminating in the destruction of Carthage's great capital city, which burned for six days and nights, leaving its inhabitants slaughtered or enslaved. From its origins in Lebanon to its rise as the greatest sea-power of its age, Carthage's story is one of legendary figures, including the military genius Hannibal, who led his troops across the Alps and almost toppled Roman power. Miles brings to life the real Carthage, shedding light on a fascinating and often overlooked civilization. With meticulous research and a compelling narrative, Miles presents a substantial contribution to the field of ancient history, making Carthage Must Be Destroyed a compelling read for anyone interested in the Ancient World.
