This article provides a chronological overview of Carthage’s rise, conflicts, and eventual fall from 814 BCE to 146 BCE, highlighting its ambitions for Mediterranean dominance and its prolonged rivalry with Rome and Greek states. Key events include Carthage’s mythological founding by Dido, its expansion into Spain, and major wars such as the Sicilian Wars, the Punic Wars, and the Mercenary Wars. The article also details the military leadership of Hannibal, son of Hamilcar, and the ultimate destruction of Carthage by Rome under Scipio Aemilianus. It concludes with Rome’s rebuilding of Carthage and the lasting impact of these historical conflicts on Mediterranean power dynamics. [Extracted from the article]
