The Last Carthaginian (English Edition)

In 146 B.C. the Romans, under their Consul Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus, (Scipio Minor) destroyed the city of Carthage after a three year long conflict. Out of a city of some 250,000 inhabitants, there were 50,000 survivors and all were sold into slavery. This is the story of the Third Punic War as seen from the point of view of two Carthaginian Children who lived through it. Gillimas and his Cousin Simabal belong to a wealthy and prominent Carthaginian family and grow up in luxury, until the war with Rome gradually destroys everything they value in life. This is a fictional account of a holocaust in ancient times and the story of survival against overwhelming odds.
