The Fall of Carthage: How Rome Erased a Civilization | End of the Punic Wars || EP#05

Discover how decades of tension, betrayal, and ambition culminated in a siege so brutal that it erased a civilization. We explore the motives behind Rome’s obsession with Carthage, the legacy of Hannibal’s earlier campaign, and how Scipio Aemilianus led the Roman legions to break through Carthage’s defenses after a brutal 3-year siege.

We also discuss the mythical salting of the earth, the enslavement of Carthaginian survivors, and how Rome sent a chilling message to the world: no enemy would be spared. This is not just a tale of war — it’s a lesson in power, politics, and total domination.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, student, or just curious about ancient empires, this breakdown brings the past to life with detail, drama, and historical insight.
