Before Rome ruled the world, there was Carthage — a powerful African civilization that dared to rival the greatest empire of its age.

The Lost Empire of Carthage resurrects the story of Hannibal, the legendary general who crossed the Alps to bring war to Rome’s doorstep. But more than a military chronicle, this book uncovers the soul of a civilization erased by history’s victors.
Carthage was wealthy, advanced, and feared — so much so that Rome vowed to destroy it completely. What followed was one of the most ruthless acts of cultural annihilation in ancient history.
This book tells the story of what was — and what could have been — had Carthage survived.
