These 3 Punic Wars spanned almost 120 years until Carthage was rendered extinct 146 BCE.&nbsp; It is amazing how a major Human political entity was obliterated that not many people know who they really were due to Rome wiping out much of their history, records, and legacy.&nbsp; This is a result of fear and hatred of each other.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the huge rivalry early in Rome&#039;s History tempered their metal to go on to become the preeminent World Empire of the Ancient World.&nbsp; Had CARTHAGE won, we may have had a MUCH different History today.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Carthage" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Carthage" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Carthage</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>CARTHAGE - Apex of their World Power:</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]799636[/ATTACH]</p><p>Carthage Zeugitana 310-270 BCE EL Dekadrachm-Stater 18.5mm 7.27g Tanit Horse 3 pellets in ex MAA 12 SNG COP 136</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]799637[/ATTACH]</p><p>Carthage - Zeugitana AV 1/10th Stater-Shekel 350-320 BCE 0.94g 7.5mm Palm- Horse Head SNG COP 132</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]799639[/ATTACH]</p><p>Carthage - Zeugitana AR Shekel-Didrachm 360-264 BCE Tanit Horse r head l palm SNG COP 141</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>CARTHAGE - Three Punic Wars:</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]799629[/ATTACH]</p><p>Carthage Zeugitania First Punic War 264-241 BCE Double Shekel 26 mm 13.9 g Wreathed Tanit Horse stndng r star above SNG Cop 185 Rare</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]799635[/ATTACH]</p><p>Bruttium - Carthage occupation 2nd Punic War AR Half-Shekel 216-211 Tanit Horse SOLAR-O HN Italy 2016 SNG Cop 361-3</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]799633[/ATTACH]</p><p>Carthage Third Punic War Serrate Double Shekel 149-146 BCE 12.8g 26mm Wreathed Tanit-Horse pellet raised leg SNG COP 404</p><p>No Carthage coins were minted after this series...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
