Zusammenfassung In an epic series of battles, the mighty empires of Carthage and Rome vied for supremacy of Mediterranean - before the Carthaginians finally buckled and their great capital city was razed to the ground, burning for six days and nights, its inhabitants slaughtered or enslaved. This title charts one of the bloodiest dramas of the Ancient World.
