About this listen
In this episode, we uncover the surprising and often misunderstood truth about the salting of Carthage. Popular legend has it that after Rome's victory in the Third Punic War, the Romans deliberately salted the earth to prevent Carthage from ever rising again. But is this really what happened? We explore the historical evidence, debunk the myths, and reveal why the truth behind Carthage’s fall is less dramatic—and far more complicated—than the stories we’ve been told. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and learn why the salting of Carthage might not have been the epic act of vengeance it's often portrayed to be.
