<strong>Carthage - the Roman Holocaust</strong><br>
<br>
"In the first of two programmes on Carthage, historian and archeaologist Dr. Richard Miles recalls the bitter and protracted struggle for supremacy over the ancient world that the city, located in what is now Tunisia in North Africa, waged against its deadly rival - Rome. Miles examines sites across the Mediterranean to piece together the historical importance of the largely forgotton Carthaginian civilisation, discovering exactly what it was about one of the worlds's wealthiest cities and most exotic societies that caused Rome to be so bent on its systematic and total destruction"<br>
<br>
(From the <em>Radio Times</em> review)<br>
