This history of the Punic Wars follows the long struggle between Rome and Carthage for power in the western Mediterranean. It covers the naval war over Sicily, Hannibal’s invasion of Italy and the final Roman destruction of Carthage in 146 BC.
The book treats the conflict as a contest of states, commanders and resources rather than a single duel between Hannibal and Rome. It examines strategic adaptation, political endurance and the way victory over Carthage transformed Rome’s future ambitions.
