Carthage, a remarkable city-state that dominated the Mediterranean for over 600 years, harnessed their extensive resources to develop some of the ancient world's most groundbreaking technology. For generations, Carthage defined power, strength and ingenuity, but by the third century B.C., the empire's existence was threatened by another emerging superpower, Rome. However, when the Romans engineered their empire, they were only following the lead of the Carthaginians. From the city's grand harbor to the rise of one of history's greatest generals, Hannibal Barca, we will examine the architecture and infrastructure that enabled the rise and fall of the Carthaginian Empire

    The Roman Empire didn't fall to Carthage.. Carthage (Hannibal) attacked Rome and won every battle, but never defeat the Roman Empire. In the end he was forced to fall back home.

    This was BEFORE Julius Ceasar, so Rome could not have fallen to Carthage. Because when Ceasar was alive, the Roman Empire had expanded so much, and it was STILL expanding. Hannibal was LONG DEAD when this happend.

    So blackPowerStick, i agree with you. You should research a bit more.

  • it's amazing how some pics of hannibal make him look like a greek or roman; he was from north africa and more than likely looked like a middle easterner, like Jesus did. Silliness....

  • OK, I was liking it till we got to ths part and the history all got a little vague and selective. How can they skip through the feats of hannibal and not even mention Tresime then make the strategy at Cannae sound like a simple Cavalry "reach around". what a load of bollocks. I lost intere .. pff

  • Hell yeah! Scipio!

  • @goodrowj The founders might have been white/tanned, but people came from all over, after all, it was the land of opportunity

  • also 3:07 xD

  • looool 3:02 this is the rome total war game xD

  • @ulongkoror In Italy. Not the world.

  • @blackPowerStick

    You realize that Carthaginians were white, don't you? The closest modern Punic relatives are the Jews.

  • a lot of men died

  • "and we have to go to world war 1 to find a scale as big"

    huh,did they include Chinese history?cause armies as big as 650,000 or even up to a million,were destroyed and massacred in several battles WAY before 20th century
