    Carthage

    • From the side of the mainland, the city was protected by three rows of two-tiered stone walls with four-tiered towers.

    • Carthage had two well-defended harbors - merchant and military, which were connected by a channel up to 22 m wide. Massive chains blocked the entrance to the harbor

    • Intermediary trade was the economic basis of the Carthaginian slave state. From South Africa, the Carthaginians brought gold and ivory, silver from the Iberian Peninsula, tin from Britain, and agricultural products from agricultural peoples. The slave trade had a large share. In order to obtain slaves, the Carthaginians waged numerous wars.

    • A fertile valley adjoined Carthage. After the conquest of the Libyan tribes, agriculture began to develop in this valley. Large possessions of the Carthaginian rich prevailed, whose fields were cultivated by slaves.

    • The struggle between landowners and merchants was one of the main contradictions within the ruling class. This struggle influenced the foreign policy of Carthage.



    State structure

    • The highest body is the council of elders, headed by 10 (later 30) people (in charge of finances, foreign policy, declaring war and peace, and also carrying out the general conduct of the war. He also elected the commander-in-chief - for an indefinite period and with the widest powers

    • The National Assembly formally also played a significant role, but in fact it was rarely addressed.

    • In 450 BC e. in order to counterbalance the desire of some clans (especially the Magon clan) to gain full control over the council, a council of judges was created. Appointed by special commissions - pentarchies, which themselves were replenished on the basis of belonging to one or another aristocratic family

    • The executive power (and the highest judiciary) was performed by two Suffets, they, like the council of elders, were elected annually by open vote buying.

    • The whole system was highly corrupt, but the colossal state revenues allowed the country to develop quite successfully.


    social system

    • The entire population was divided into several groups according to their rights.

    • The Libyans were in the most difficult situation. The territory of Libya was divided into regions subordinate to the strategists, taxes were very high, their collection was accompanied by all sorts of abuses. This led to frequent uprisings, which were brutally suppressed. Libyans were forcibly recruited into the army - the reliability of such units, of course, was very low

    • Sicules - Sicilian Greeks constituted another part of the population, their rights in the field of political administration were limited by the "Sidon law" (its content is unknown), but they enjoyed freedom of trade

    • Natives of the Phoenician cities annexed to Carthage enjoyed full civil rights, and the rest of the population (freedmen, settlers - not Phoenicians ...) is similar to the Siculs - "Sidon law".


    Army

    • The army of Carthage was mostly mercenary.

    • The Carthaginian army consisted of infantry, cavalry, war chariots and war elephants.

    • The core of the Carthaginian army was a sacred squad on foot, in which the Carthaginian nobility served, preparing for military activity. Some wealthy citizens served in the heavy cavalry, making up a separate detachment

    • The second component of the Carthaginian army were detachments, exhibited by dependent African tribes and allies.

    • The Iberian tribes provided heavy infantry and heavy cavalry; the Iberians were armed with large swords that could stab and chop

    • In the Balearic Islands, excellent slingers were recruited, throwing stones and small lead balls.

    • The Gauls supplied foot soldiers armed with swords that could only be cut

    • The African tribes fielded well-trained light cavalry (the Numidian cavalry) armed with javelins and swords.


    Army

    • The battle order of the Carthaginian army usually consisted of three parts: the right and left wings (the Numidian cavalry) and the main forces that made up the center (all other troops). The Balearic slingers spread out ahead, covering the entire line of battle.

    • An important role was also played by elephants, which were kept in the amount of about 300 pieces.

    • The “technical” equipment of the army was high (catapults, ballistas, etc.)

    • Representatives of the oligarchy headed the fleet and the army. There was no single command.

    • In general, the Carthaginian army is characterized by its heterogeneous composition, this was its weakness. But, according to Polybius, the Carthaginians considered the presence of heterogeneous mercenaries a positive thing. In their opinion, warriors who spoke a language incomprehensible to each other cannot organize a conspiracy, rebellion or treason. However, the command of such an army was not an easy task.



    "HANNIBAL'S Oath"

    • "Reach out your hand over the altar," his father said to Hannibal, "and swear that you will never be a friend of the Romans."

    • "I swear!" Hannibal said.


    II PUNIC WAR 218-201 BC.




    BATTLE AT LAKE TRASIMENE 217 BC.

The triremes sailed between the columns inside the arsenal and climbed the inclined plane to the dry docks, designed for 220 ships. Panorama of Carthage (reconstruction)
