Carthage must be destroyed: the rise and fall of ancient civilization di richard miles racconta uno dei drammi più sanguinosi del mondo antico: la devastante lotta all'ultimo sangue tra cartagine e roma. In una serie epica di battaglie, i potenti imperi di cartagine e roma si contendevano la supremazia del mediterraneo, prima che i cartaginesi cedessero definitivamente e la loro grande capitale venisse rasa al suolo, bruciando per sei giorni e sei notti, con i suoi abitanti massacrati o ridotti in schiavitù. Carthage must be destroyed racconta la storia di questo impero perduto, dalle sue origini in libano alla sua apoteosi come la più grande potenza marittima della sua epoca, e riporta in vita personaggi leggendari come il genio militare annibale, che guidò le sue truppe attraverso le alpi e quasi rovesciò il potere romano, ma che alla fine avrebbe condotto il suo popolo al disastro.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Richard Miles's Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Civilization charts one of the bloodiest dramas of the Ancient World: the devastating struggle to the death between Carthage and Rome. In an epic series of battles, the mighty empires of Carthage and Rome vied for supremacy of the 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. Carthage Must Be Destroyed tells the story of this lost empire - from its origins in Lebanon to its apotheosis as the greatest sea-power of its age - and brings to life legendary figures such as the military genius Hannibal, who led his troops across the Alps and almost toppled Roman power, but would ultimately lead his people to disaster. 'Splendid . epic and fascinating' Tom Holland 'An enthralling narrative' Economist 'The Carthaginians finally get their due . well-paced and compelling . In bringing the real Carthage to the fore, Carthage Must Be Destroyed makes a substantial contribution to the field' Financial Times 'Lively and compelling' Literary Review 'Thoughtful and meticulous . fascinating' Guardian 'A superb achievement' Sunday Telegraph Richard Miles is Professor of Classics at the University of Sydney and a Fellow of Trinity Hall, Cambridge University.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The great epic of the Ancient World comes to lifeThe story of Carthage is one of the great epics of the Ancient World. And yet, thanks to the ruthlessness and brutality of the Roman destruction of the city under Scipio in 146 BC, we know relatively little about the city- its foundation, its expansion, its way of life, its literature and gods. Carthage has to all intents and purposes been driven to the margins of history. A tale of battles and empire-building, of bitter rivalry and destruction - and a great civilisation whose role in shaping European culture and history has, until now, been largely ignored. 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. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780141018096
