Carthage

A chilling novel that explores a genocide of the ancient world. In 146 B.C., after three years of siege, the Roman army took Carthage by storm in a frenzy of total destruction. The people of the city were massacred or enslaved and every single building was razed to the ground. The novel tells of seven very different lives—lives that become inescapably caught up in the destruction, treachery and cruelty that reigned.
