The dust of the Second Punic War has barely settled. Rome, gorged on victory, sneers at a broken Carthage. 'Look at my size,' Rome bellows across the sea. 'I couldn't care less,' Carthage murmurs into the wind. 'Tremble before me,' Rome snarls, its voice edged with senatorial fear and whispers of Numidia. 'For pity's sake... help,' Carthage begs, its plea swallowed by the waves. The declaration of war echoes like thunder. The fate of empires now dangles by a thread. Is history a script you can tear up?
