Marcus Porcius Cato, 'the Elder'
234-149 BC
CARTHAGE MUST BE DESTROYED!

With these words the Roman statesman Marcus Porcius Cato urged his countrymen to embark upon a final war against the Republic's greatest enemy, Carthage.  The conflict would last over three years and end in the destruction of what was once the most powerful city in the Mediterranean world.

This site is an online resource dedicated to what we now call the Third Punic War, a clash that has for so long languished beneath the shadow of Hannibal's daring invasion of Italy (the Second Punic War, 218-201 BC) and the massive twenty-year struggle that preceded it (the First Punic War, 264-241 BC).
