Dido, Hannibal and Elephants are all I know but it looks like an interesting empire.

Carthage Must Be Destroyed by Richard Miles is a pretty good single volume history of Carthage.

IIRC archaeologists have found evidence before that indicates they actually did sacrifice children.

I don't get why the child sacrifice would be so bad when Romans were throwing out newborn babes into rivers, ditches and in garbage by the thousands. Or just smashing their head on a rock and burying it.

Romans killed their newborns, don't hear people harping on about it endlessly.

ALso, do you know how many million unborns have been murdered in America alone in the last 40 years? At least 40 million.

America is 1000x worse that Carthage ever was, Americans are meant to be the most civilized people at the height of modern times, yet from where I look at America, it is a monster beyond compare.

lmao

>>502039
You could really read at least a little bit about it then.
>>502056
They didn't sacrifice children. It is a proven fact that all the remains at tophet are fetuses of stillborn children.
Also, Baal wasn't a bad entity at all.
Riding elephants is interesting you gotta admit, I can't even imagine how that looks in the battle.

Hamilcar is very underrated general, shame we don't have much details on his Iberian campaigns
