Description
The Punic Wars (264-146BC) sprang from a mighty power struggle between two ancient civilisations – the trading empire of Carthage and the military confedoration of Rome. It was a period of astonishing human misfortune, lasting over a period of 118 years and resulting in the radical depletion of Rome’s population and resources and the complete annihilation of Carthage. All this took place more than 2,000 years ago, yet, as Nigel Bagnall’s comprehensive history demonstrates, the ancient conflict is remarkable for its contemporary revelance.

| Review Quote | A serious and well-informed book on the wars between Rome and Carthage…it is, however, not simply a piece of disinterested research but a tale with a moral for current politics…On the interplay of strategic and operational decisions, on the risks of politics in time of war, on the importance of morale: this book gives much food for reflection |
| Other text | His book is to be commended…It is a fine piece of military and political history…a clear and convincing account of what happened, devoid of any high-flown romanticism…He constructs his analysis in such a way as to demonstrate that what happened…might just happen again |
