[Thomas Ernst · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was a bit “thin” on actual facts about Carthage and the people, but then information about Carthage is not available from any source other than Roman ones.

The author does gives us some details about the ruling class of Carthage, how it was governed, and how it was destroyed by Rome. The language is lost, any writings are lost, and the city was destroyed ; so, not much to go on

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I found it very interesting to learn about Carthage and its people. It is sad to learn that some of this history was lost to time.

Rise and Fall of a nation state

Fairly general in scope but interesting none the less as Carthage was a worthy opponent for Rome. Without Carthage there would have been no Imperial Rome.

I’d definitely recommend reading!

Great read! I’d definitely recommend reading! A lot about the Punic wars but a pretty good overview of Carthage although not great depth
