The Epic Struggle Between Carthage And Rome, Two Of The Superpowers Of The Ancient World, Is Most Famous For Land Battles In Italy, On The Iberian Peninsula And In North Africa.

She Exploits New Evidence, Including The Latest Archaeological Discoveries, And She Looks Afresh At The Ancient Sources And Quotes Extensively From Them. In Particular She Shows How The Romans' Seafaring Tradition And Their Skill, Determination And Resourcefulness Eventually Gave Them A Decisive Advantage.
