Prelude to the First Punic War

After the conquest of Magna Graecia the Romans came into contact with the greatest power in the Mediterranean, Carthage. Tense political situation in Sicily is made even worse with the death of Agathocles of Syracuse. Rogue mercenaries from Campania serve as a spark that would ignite a conflict for the supremacy of Mediterranean, lasting over a century.

Yes, we made a mistake there. It was actually founded by Hannibal's brother-in-law Hasdrubal in 228 BCE. Although, there are some records pointing to an even older Iberian settlement, Mastia, on that location.

@MagistraVitae 19 күн бұрын

Yes, Phoenician is one of the Semitic languages. Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic as well as some other languages from the region are also a part of that group.

A small thing, but dont quote me if im wrong. In latin C is pronounced like a K. Like in syracuse. Came in my mind when you said Pisentes instead of Pikentes. But im not sure so might be wrong

@MagistraVitae 19 күн бұрын

It depends on classical vs ecclesiastical latin pronounciation. It's sometimes difficult to figure out the correct pronunciations for these lesser known tribes and figures from history. We do our best to research every new name we come across, but we do make some mistakes.

It was, but there's also an anglicized pronunciation for Roman words when speaking English (as in Cicero or Caesar)
