Carthage... was annihilated. Its streets, once filled with merchants and soldiers, became killing grounds. Its walls, once impenetrable, were torn apart stone by stone. Its people, once masters of the sea, were either slaughtered in the ruins of their homes or marched away in chains. The war was over, but this was not a victory. It was an execution. The city that had defied Rome for over a century no longer existed, and with it, an entire civilization was erased. There would be no rebuilding, no resurgence, no legacy beyond the scorched earth where it once stood.

Carthage. 149 B.C. - 146 B.C.
Roman Forces: 80,000 Infantry, 4,000 Cavalry.
Carthaginian Forces: City Forces: Unknown; Field Forces: ~25,000 - 30,000 Infantry.
