Quote:One odd thing about the article: "Carthage went into decline after its defeat. " Does the writer know there was another Punic War (and a third)?
Possibly, but this is a Reuters newsflash, so we must hope the writer listened carefully to what the archeologists told him or her.
That said, Carthage arguably did go into decline after the defeat. Just not precipitously.
