<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4596773, member: 72790"]Yes, I would agree about Carthage as an entity. I would say Carthage actually had the advantage at the start of the First Punic War. Its mistake was to underestimate Rome. The Second Punic War was one that could have gone either way but Carthage squandered its advantage with Hannibal as its commander, allowing local politics to cripple its most effective leader. The Third Punic War was an unnecessary bullying payback that Carthage could never win.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
