#carthage — Public Fediverse posts

This has to be my favorite episode of "Fall of Civilizations" thus far. The way Paul Cooper tells this story, the sheer amount of detail in an already very sparse part of history is just astounding. I'm really impressed and highly recommend this to people interested in ancient history.

The massacre at the end and what led to it made me feel quite sad about Carthage. We often forget that civilizations are temporary. So much has been repeated over time when one looks at history. I think nothing that is happening today seems that much different from before.

The Catapult, 1868, Edward Poynter.

Complete with naked Roman soldiers.

The tip of the arrow is glowing red hot in the original painting.

The book implies Poynter failed to capture movement in this piece, by focusing too much on detail. Not sure i entirely agree, what do you think?

Delenda est Carthago.

Yhe #FallOfCivilizations #Carthage episode is pretty good, but it took him 90 minutes to get to the child sacrifice issue.
