A vivid, accessible, and richly documented history of Carthage-its merchants, soldiers, gods, and the legendary campaigns of Hannibal. The Golden Age of Carthage: Hannibal, Maritime Trade, and the Punic Empire offers a sweeping journey through one of the Mediterranean's most influential civilisations. Written in a clear and evocative style, this book blends archaeology, military analysis, and narrative storytelling to bring Punic North Africa back to life. Inside you will discover:
- The Phoenician origins of Carthage and the formation of a global maritime network
- The mechanics of Punic trade, shipbuilding, and artisanal production
- The political institutions that shaped Carthaginian power
- The religious world of Baal Hammon, Tanit, and ancestral cults
- The armies and navies that secured Punic influence across Africa, Iberia, and Sicily
- The rise of the Barcid dynasty and the making of Hannibal
- The daring Alpine crossing and the great victories in Italy
- Carthage's rebirth after the Second Punic War
- The dramatic siege of 146 BC and the archaeological evidence of its destruction
Perfect for readers of ancient history, military history, and Mediterranean studies, this book offers both newcomers and enthusiasts a complete and engaging overview of Carthage at its peak, based on the latest research and written with narrative strength. If you want to understand the real Punic world-beyond stereotypes, beyond Roman propaganda-this is the book you need.
