THE PUNIC WARS IN 100 FACTS

von Cornelis van Houte

230 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Three wars. One century. Zero survivors.

Rome wanted hegemony. Carthage wanted trade. What followed was a brutal, asymmetric crash of naval industrialization, mercenary mutinies, Alps-defying strategy, and total annihilation.

The Punic Wars in 100 Facts cuts through Livy's drama and Roman spin to map the cold mechanics of how a republic learns to commit total war:

- The Bootleg Navy: How Rome copied a stranded enemy hull and learned to rule the waves the hard way.- The Hannibal Trap: Why Cannae was a masterpiece of tactical physics, and why sitting outside the Servian Wall broke a general's math.- The Counter-Punch: Scipio, Numidian pivot points, and the reality of Zama.- The Receipt: Debunking the salt myth, analyzing Cato's obsession, and watching a superpower get unmade.

Fast, lethal, zero fluff.
