Leído por Pamela Nagami

(4.9 estrellas; 17 reseñas)

The Punic Wars (264-146 B.C.) were a series of conflicts between the rapidly expanding Roman Republic and the Phoenician Sea empire, Carthage. Both sides expended enormous resources assembling armies and building and rebuilding fleets. Hannibal crossed the Alps and the Romans, for the first time, confronted war elephants. The struggle featured heroic personalities, brilliant battles, terrible sieges, cruelty, craft, and for Carthage, devastation and ruin. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

Rome's War on Carthage Echoes Through the Ages


(5 estrellas)

Reginald Smith deftly tells the story of how Rome's unprovoked attack on its ally Carthage was the beginning of the end for the Roman Republic. Consequently over the next 120 years the ethical and legal constraints that had underpinned its system of government were so substantially damaged that the chaos of the first century BCE were inescapable and it decended into imperial autocracy for hundreds of years. A startlingly pertinent tale for our modern world beautifully written and read.

excellent book and excellent reader. she always does a fantastic
