Si desea descubrir la fascinante historia de Cartago entonces continúe leyendo...Muy pocos de los antiguos imperios y naciones fueron capaces de desafiar a los romanos, que eran famosos por su poderío militar. Incluso menos fueron capaces de hacerlos temblar con solo mencionar su nombre. De hecho, solo un enemigo de Roma logró grabar tal miedo en sus huesos. Ese fue Cartago, a veces llamado el Imperio cartaginés. Era un estado formidable que se extendía a través del norte de África, desde Argelia y Túnez hasta las costas de Marruecos y el sur de España. En su apogeo, era una fuerza formidable que controlaba gran parte del Mediterráneo occidental. Como tal, fue el primer obstáculo real para el surgimiento del estado romano, el único que casi lo derribó antes de que se convirtiera en una antigua superpotencia. Aníbal Barca, el más famoso líder cartaginés, estuvo en un momento dado frente a las puertas de Roma. Debido a eso, el Imperio cartaginés, usualmente personificado por el mismo Aníbal, es típicamente visto y descrito como el gran enemigo de Roma, uno de los raros y desalentadores oponentes que los romanos enfrentaron.Sin embargo, a pesar de la verdad detrás de tales sentimientos, Cartago era mucho más que un enemigo de Roma. Era un estado próspero, con su propia cultura y forma de vida. Su gente era más que solo soldados. Entre ellos había comerciantes, artistas, artesanos, sacerdotes, granjeros y mucho más. Construyeron templos y palacios, casas y mercados, y erigieron ciudades enteras a lo largo de su no tan pequeño imperio. De hecho, detrás del rostro de Cartago como adversario de los romanos se encuentra toda una civilización digna de nuestra atención. Descubrirla desde los velos del pasado no solo nos ayudará a entender la propia Cartago, así como sus conflictos con Roma, sino que también nos dará una mejor comprensión del mundo antiguo en su conjunto. Esta guía tratará de hacer precisamente eso, pintar las dos caras de la moneda que es el Imperio cartaginés, con la esperanza de despertar su interés para averiguar más sobre Cartago y la historia en general.En Cartago: Una guía fascinante del Imperio cartaginés y sus conflictos con las antiguas ciudades estado griegas y la República romana en las guerras sicilianas y púnicas, descubrirá temas como:Una Ciudad Nueva en el oesteConvirtiéndose en una potencia mediterráneaLuchando por el control de SiciliaDe aliados a enemigosSucumbiendo a las heridasLa sociedad y el gobierno cartaginésEjército de la República cartaginesaLa civilización púnica¡Y mucho, mucho más!¡Obtenga este libro ahora para aprender más sobre Cartago!
