The history of the realm and its Carthaginians was subsumed by their conquerors and, along the way, the story of the real \u003cem\u003eCarthage\u003c\/em\u003e was lost. An ancient North African kingdom, \u003cem\u003eCarthage\u003c\/em\u003e was the home of Hannibal and of Dido, of war elephants and enormous power and wealth, of great beauty and total destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this landmark new history, Eve MacDonald tells the essential story of the lost culture of \u003cem\u003eCarthage\u003c\/em\u003e and of its forgotten people, using brand new archaeological analysis to uncover the history behind the legend. A journey that takes us from the Phoenician Levant of the early Iron Age to the Atlantic and all along the coast of Africa, \u003cem\u003eCarthage\u003c\/em\u003e puts the city and the story of North Africa once again at the centre of Mediterranean history. Reclaimed from the Romans, this, for the very first time, is the Carthaginian version of the tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47754128163052,"sku":"9781529911695","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781529911695-carthage.jpg?v=1781657452","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/carthage-by-eve-macdonald-9781529911695","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
