The audacity of historians to romanticize the rise of Carthage without addressing the underlying moral decay is infuriating! Carthage, just another Phoenician colony, manipulated alliances and waged wars with the Etruscans against the Greeks, revealing a ruthless ambition that should not be celebrated. The so-called "dominance" of Carthage in the western Mediterranean came at the cost of countless lives and cultures. We need to stop glorifying these historical narratives that ignore the brutal realities of power struggles, like the Battle of Alalia. It’s time to confront the truth about the rise of Carthage and its legacy of exploitation! #Carthage #AncientHistory #GrecoEtruscanRelations #History
