Let’s just take a second to appreciate how cool the Punic Wars are. The Punic Wars lasted from 246 BCE to 146 BCE with interwar periods. In the second punic war, the largest and most famous one, well over a million men fought and that is putting it lightly, it’s got fighting monsters, yes monsters, blood oaths and two rival families fighting for the fate of the world, it’s so fantastical that it actually happened. would also like to take second to appreciate just how much rested on these conflicts between Rome and Carthage. They fought for control of what was to them, the whole world. If Rome hadn’t had it’s tenacity and prowess, and had it lost The Punic Wars, our world would be so unimaginably and vastly different that we wouldn’t be able to comprehend it. Just to scratch the surface, modern languages, the legal system, our roads, welfare system and politics just to name a few. But our world would also be different in the way of culture and the history would be incredibly different and completely alien to us. Just read the responses and yes this is pretty much just straight yanked from Extra History, go watch their Punic War episodes they are really good!! I can also recommend reading livy's book on the second punic war, or a podcast about it because it is an amazingly boring read

To put that loss of a hundred thousand men in a storm into perspective: ancient agriculture and transport was way less efficient than in modern times, and population density was way lower. So in modern times it's as if modern Italy lost a million men in a disaster, and they didn't even stop to reconsider what they were doing. Ancient civilizations were indeed huge risk-takers.

[@boarfaceswinejaw4516]

not nessecarily. people estimate that the population of rome during the punic war would have been between 5 million to a whopping 13 million. if we compromise and say 10 million, then that would have been a 6th of the modern population of italy (60 million). so rather than convert 100 thousand to 1 million, its more like 600 thousand.

Weird how similar this is to WW1 & WW2. First war being a somewhat static war of attrition in which the side with the greater amount of resources wins. It ends in exhaustion of both sides with a treaty that has harsh reparation payments for the losing side. This causes resentment on the losing side and thus they start a second, more mobile war a generation later, in which the winner of the first war is nearly conquered but wins again in the end.

A theory about the "dragon" that Livy was talking about is that it was actually a long extinct species of Constrictor that lived in North Africa at the time. The Romans hunted them to extinction, and due the fact that they lived in the desert, no remains have been found due to being buried under miles of sand thousands of years ago. Edit: I guess it would make more sense to say, "buried across miles of sand." And yes, the Nabeul Peninsula isn't a desert, but they could have likely lived in desert regions. Also, I'm not the one who came up with the theory, and I'm just writing this from memory, so some things may be wrong.
