After decades of warfare, the Third Punic War culminated in a brutal siege that ended with the total destruction of Carthage. This episode explores the final years from 149 to 146 BCE, focusing on the desperate defense led by Hasdrubal and his wife, and the ruthless strategy of Scipio Aemilianus. We examine how Carthage transformed its city into an arsenal, the role of women in the final battle, and the systematic erasure of the civilization by Rome. Discover the human cost of the conflict and the archaeological evidence that confirms the extent of the ruin, moving beyond the legend of salted earth to the historical reality of displacement and enslavement.
