For those looking for recommended reading, Richard Miles' Carthage Must be Destroyed is a brilliant, detailed and pacy retelling of the Punic Wars. Adrian Goldsworthy's The Fall of Carthage is also very well-written, and caters more to the detail of the military history.

Loved the episode! Could this post have the 'episode 17' tag for future reference? Would make it easier to find if I want to revisit some information. Also thanks for making this history vivid, will remember most details for a long time. keep up the amazing work!

Blown away by this episode and the previous one I listened to, the Fall of the Han Dynasty. Your knowledge, generosity, and storytelling ability are well worth becoming a sponsor. Thank you! (Could I request you spell out some names in the notes? I’m having difficulty when I want to follow up on my own — Greek generals, Chinese emperors and place names… I’d love just a half-dozen of them (your choice) spelled out either here or in the podcast program notes. Thank you!!)
