Carthage

Once one of the greatest powers of the ancient Mediterranean, Carthage built its wealth and influence through trade, empire, and naval dominance. From North Africa, it challenged Rome for control of the classical world in a rivalry that would decide the future of Europe.

This collection explores the rise of Carthage, its long struggle with Rome, and the extraordinary campaigns of Hannibal, who led his army across the Alps in one of history’s most daring military feats. It traces how strategy, ambition, and rivalry turned commercial competition into total war.
