Carthage Must Be Destroyed
Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization | Richard Miles
The first full-scale history of Hannibal's Carthage in decades and "a convincing and enthralling narrative." (The Economist ) Drawing on a wealth of new research, archaeologist, historian, and master storyteller Richard Miles resurrects the civilization that ancient Rome struggled so mightily to expunge. This monumental work charts the entirety of Carthage's history, from its origins among the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as a Mediterranean empire whose epic land-and-sea clash with Rome made a legend of Hannibal and shaped the course of Western history. Carthage Must Be Destroyed reintroduces readers to the ancient glory of a lost people and their generations-long struggle against an implacable enemy.

ROME: We have maybe 20 names we use in various orders.

CARTHAGE: Hold my beer.

Everyone is named Hanno, Hamilcar, or Hannibal. I have no idea who's doing anything. Maybe it's the same three guys and they're immortal.

(It might also have something to do with how I put the book down months ago and just picked it back up last week.)
