    Be great Mediterranean civilisation

    Get roped into war by a petty conflict against a highly militarised society

    Put up a better fight than anyone until the ottomans thousands of years later

    “Ha ha they lost to Rome”

    Everyone lost to Rome

    Had to lose 3 times before dying

    No one cares

    Pepe hands

    I am a Carthage shill
