Carthage by Eve MacDonald
A concise, syntheses-driven history that traces the transformation of a Phoenician colony into a Mediterranean powerhouse, integrating archaeology and ancient sources to illuminate trade networks, political institutions, religion, and daily life. It follows expansion across North Africa, Iberia, and key islands, the confrontations with Greeks and especially Romans, and the devastating destruction in 146 BCE. Along the way, it reassesses entrenched myths and Roman propaganda—such as claims about child sacrifice—while examining the city’s reinvention under Roman rule and enduring legacy.
