Über diesen Titel

An epic history of a doomed civilization and a lost empire. The devastating struggle to the death between the Carthaginians and the Romans was one of the defining dramas of the ancient world. In an epic series of land and sea battles, both sides came close to victory before the Carthaginians finally succumbed and their capital city, history, and culture were almost utterly erased.

Drawing on a wealth of new archaeological research, Richard Miles vividly brings to life this lost empire-from its origins among the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as the greatest seapower in the Mediterranean. And at the heart of the history of Carthage lies the extraordinary figure of Hannibal-the scourge of Rome and one of the greatest military leaders, but a man who also unwittingly led his people to catastrophe. The first full-scale history of Carthage in decades, Carthage Must Be Destroyed reintroduces modern listeners to the larger-than-life historical players and the ancient glory of this almost forgotten civilization.

I enjoyed this telling of the story of Carthage. The early bits tell a often untold story and even the more lengthy portion on the second war with Rome is enriched with the focus on the Herculean imagery.

Great Stortelling

It is the most detailed history of Carthage I have read so far. It does not simply cover its history from its founding by phoenician merchants from modern day Lebanon, its voyages of discovery as far south as Southern Africa and as far north as the Arctic and the establishment of empire, its wars with the Greeks and the punic wars and its destruction by the Romans, but also its relations with the Kingdom of Numidia and the Celtiberians of Spain and even its depiction in Roman culture and its undergoing changes depending on the current Zeitgeist. I can only recommend it.
