Carthaginian Empire, #16
Reeks: Carthaginian Empire
David Bowman
- Over
- several
- years
- the
- armies
- of
- Carthage
- and
- Rome
- have
- fought
- each
- other
- to
- a
- bloody
- stalemate.
- Neither
- can
- gain
- a
- decisive
- advantage
- on
- land.
- On
- the
- sea
- Carthage's
- fleet
- reigns
- supreme,
- and
- the
- tiny
- Roman
- navy
- is
- no
- match
- for
- the
- bigger,
- faster,
- more
- numerous,
- and
- better-trained
- Carthaginians.
It
- is
- 264
- BC,
- and
- the
- First
- Punic
- War
- is
- going
- nowhere fast.
