People would often kill off there children to preserve financial integrity, and maintain abundant resource to the populous. The Carthaginian empire was not an empire to per-say&nbsp; but rather a large confederation of people with a common financial interest. Dealing mainly in Lumber from the Levant, Precious metals and Purple Murex Shell dye. Carthage reminds me of a modern corporation, that looks out for its own interest, through trade deals, contracts and of course down-sizing. A very interesting way of looking at an ancient people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
