Destruction of Carthage
146 BC — After a three-year siege, six days of street fighting end a 700-year city. Perhaps 50,000 survivors are enslaved; the site is cursed. Scipio Aemilianus weeps — for Rome’s future, he says.
This is one scene of Chapter 3 — The Greek East Falls in The Rise and Fall of Rome, 264 BC – AD 476.
