Descriptionof Rome versus Carthage. War at Sea
Manufacturer

The epic struggle between Carthage and Rome, two of the superpowers of the ancient world, is best known for the land battles in Italy, on the Iberian Peninsula and in North Africa. The naval warfare that played a decisive role in the First and Second Punic Wars, on the other hand, is rarely considered. The monumental clashes between the Carthaginian and Roman fleets in the Mediterranean are the focus of Christa Steinby's captivating study, which evaluates new findings, including the latest archaeological discoveries, re-evaluates the ancient sources and quotes extensively from them. In particular, she shows how the seafaring tradition of the Romans and their skilfulness, determination and ingenuity ultimately gave them a decisive advantage. In doing so, she dispels the myths and misunderstandings that have distorted our understanding of Roman naval warfare.
