I have&nbsp; nevertheless always been very interested in the history of Rome&#039;s relation with Carthago. So much so, that at age 15, while in boarding school in the UK, I wrote a 70-page dissertation on the Punic wars. My teachers were surprised that a foreign boy would spend so much time in the 130-year old library of the school digging up dusty long-forgotten books recounting the history of Rome and the Carthaginians.</p><p>I still remember the final sentence of my school-dissertation...&#039;&#039;the Romans, to punish Carthago for their offense, destroyed the city and sowed salt deep into the furrows in the earth to ensure that on this site ne&#039;er shall anything grow again....&#039;&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>I must get me some coins from this period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
