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.
公元前149年的迦太基人已经无路可退。迦太基人认为,同胞的范围与国界线无关,与相似的价值观有关。痛恨罗马暴政、崇尚自由的罗马公民同样是迦太基人。尽管此时的迦太基已经是孤城一座,但迦太基城散发出自由的光辉仍然令罗马元老院的元老们寝食难安,他们的口头禅是:迦太基必...

評分既然这本书讲述迦太基与罗马的战争,不可避免要对汉尼拔大书特书。 要对付一个人,需要摧毁他的名声。十九世纪,英国旅行家杨赫斯本在拜访了克什米尔地区的罕萨之后,称该国的米尔·萨夫达尔汗王公是“一个徒有其表的人渣,配不上那么好的罕萨人民”。不久后,1891年,英国出兵...
評分《迦太基必须毁灭》4星 所有罗马史都有一个绕不过去的宿敌,和它发生了三次布匿战争的迦太基。 一、大海的宠儿 希腊人热爱海外殖民,除了疏散人口缓解母邦压力,更为直接的目的源于贸易的贪欲和野心。 与之相对的,居住在黎凡特附近的腓尼基人,拥有比希腊人更早更先进的航海和...

评分這兩年讀瞭很多與古羅馬相關的書,布匿戰爭,特別是漢尼拔,使我對迦太基這個文明古國產生瞭濃厚的興趣。《迦太基必須毀滅》完美地解決瞭我的好奇心。 迦太基是個殖民國傢,先人腓尼基人長於海上貿易。因不堪亞述人的欺淩,大批嚮西移民到中西地中海,並在北非建立獨立的國傢──迦太基。與羅馬帝國霸權擴張時期同時代的國傢可能都有同樣的悲哀:既生瑜何生亮!迦太基也不例外。隨著羅馬的崛起,這個曾經稱霸中西地中海的文明古國,經過三次布匿戰爭,歷時走過一百五十年,終於被羅馬夷為平地。即使有漢尼拔那樣不世齣的統帥,也最終無法挽迴第二次布匿戰爭的完敗。而在大加圖一句“Carthage must be destroyed”之後的第三次布匿戰爭中,迦太基被徹底的抹去瞭。
