About this listen

 The Punic Wars (264-146 B.C.) stand as a monumental series of clashes between the ambitious Roman Republic and the formidable Phoenician empire of Carthage. Both civilizations poured immense resources into assembling vast armies and constructing and reconstructing fleets. Hannibals audacious crossing of the Alps brought war elephants into the fray, marking a dramatic confrontation for the Romans. This epic struggle was defined by legendary figures, strategic brilliance, brutal sieges, and the ultimate devastation of Carthage. Join us as we delve into a saga of heroism, cunning, and the relentless pursuit of power.
