Carthage is known as the arch enemy of Rome during its brutal ascendance to power, but what is less known is the fact that Carthage had its own side of brutality and a society and Phoenician culture just a complex as that of the Romans. In this episode we will dig into the darker side of Carthage both in its own expansive politics and in its religion that underpinned most of its society and we will go into the rather dark subject of human sacrifice..
