description: The framing of this piece is fascinating from a historiography perspective. It challenges the victors' narrative perfectly—Rome wrote the history books, so of course Carthage came off as the villain. Really makes you question what other "defeated" civilizations we've misjudged.|

description: Excellent article premise! I'd add that Carthage's naval dominance and control of Mediterranean trade routes is severely underappreciated in modern scholarship. Their economic power was just as formidable as their military might.|

description: Respectfully disagree. Rome's ability to recover from devastating losses (like Cannae) and maintain a larger, more sustainable military machine is what actually made them the superpower. Carthage had brilliant generals but structural weaknesses.|

description: I'm intrigued but skeptical. If Carthage was truly a superpower, why did they lose to Rome not just once but THREE times? Would love to see more evidence supporting this claim in the full article.|

description: This is a refreshing take! Too many textbooks just gloss over Carthage's military innovations and focus only on their defeats. Hannibal's tactics alone revolutionized warfare for centuries.|
