Strudeler’s Civilizations: Carthage
Play as the ancient legends Dido, Hanno the Navigator, and Hannibal Barca; in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
Carthage rose to prominence with the fall of the old Canaanite cities to the Babylonians. The city became a hegemon over other Punic cities, aspiring to control the greatest thalassocracy of the Mediterranean. The Punic people of Carthage and submissive city-states would go on to colonize new Punic cities, venturing far to settle, such as the inland of Hispania and the far coast below Mauretania. Punic explorers may have traveled as far as Cameroon under Hanno the Navigator and may have even circumnavigated all of Africa’s coast in service of Pharaoh Necho II. Eventually Carthage came into direct competition with the Greeks, rival colonizers of the Mediterranean, but the ultimate nemesis would be found in the great city of Rome.
