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 readers to the larger-than-life historical players and the ancient glory of this almost forgotten civilization.
Richard Miles teaches ancient history at the University of Sydney and is a Fellow-Commoner of Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge. He has written widely on Punic, Roman, and Vandal North Africa and has directed archaeological excavations in Carthage and Rome. He divides his time between Sydney, Australia, and Cambridge, England.

评分 评分Carthage Must be Destroyed 勇敢的腓尼基人踩着脚下的甲板驰骋于那未知的大海上, 聪颖的泰尔人坚定的踩在北非的沙地上, 忧伤的狄多在新的城市与埃涅阿斯生死一别, 饱含希望的迦太基人在岛屿间乘风破浪, 坚毅的罗马人已在悄声崛起, 水手的惨叫声显示着迦太基的落败, 汉尼...
评分在准备完全的情况下,可以说西庇阿无法打败汉尼拔,汉尼拔的结局也是悲惨,政变失败逃亡国外,被政治要求送押罗马前服毒自杀,一代名将就此陨落。迦太基人被并吞转化为别的人种,只到凯撒与奥古斯都在旧址上重建,才有活人再出现在这片土地上。这本书很好的让人了解了神秘的迦...
would be better if there were more narrative momentum as well as less shadow boxing
