About this ebook
""Carthaginian Navy"" explores how Carthage, initially a small outpost, rose to challenge Rome through its formidable naval power. The book details how the Carthaginian fleet was integral to the city's economic strength and expansion, playing a vital role in the Punic Wars. It examines the evolution of ship design, from early vessels to the advanced quinqueremes, which allowed Carthage to control vital trade routes. Carthaginian naval tactics were so effective that they posed a direct and ongoing threat to Rome. The book provides a comprehensive look at Carthage's maritime strength, drawing upon archaeological evidence, Punic inscriptions, and accounts from Greek and Roman historians. It investigates the logistical challenges of maintaining a large fleet, including timber sourcing and crew management, and explores the social and economic impacts of naval service. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with Carthage's origins and moving through key naval battles, examining the strategies of Carthaginian admirals, and ultimately analyzing the reasons for Carthage's naval decline against the expanding Roman Republic. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of Carthaginian society and maritime power.
