It's quite a romantic scene and it was wonderful to listen to such an accomplished narrator read it. It was also nice to listen to a female narrator interpret it. It was read by Glenda Villamar and she conveys the emotions and hopes of the characters exceptionally well. I will be listening to this many times!

TIL that the Punic surname “Barca”, as in the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca (as well as his father Hamilcar, and brothers Hasdrubal and Mago), is Phoenician for “lightning”. I don’t know how I never made the connection before, given that Phoenician is Semitic and I speak Hebrew (where the same √brq root is also used to mean “lightning”). I guess my brain is just in full on Latin Mode or something when I’m thinking of ancient Rome? Anyway - Hannibal “Lightning” Barca! ⚡️

An excerpt from Cicero's Cato Maior de Senectute ("Cato the Elder on old age"). It was an essay published in 44BC on the subject of aging and death.
In it, Cicero makes reference to the relative vigour Masinissa had possessed in his 90th year. (148BC) During the previous year, the King had raided Carthage in a provocation which would lead to the third and last #Punic war between #Rome and #Carthage.
