Carthage Facts photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow The Romans destroyed Carthage in the Third Punic War (149-146 B.C.). It was rebuilt 100
years later under Octavian Augustus and endowed with public and religious buildings, arenas,
villas and all manner of infrastructural works.
The battles in the titanic struggle between the two powers helped forge the Roman legions
and navies into the supreme fighting force in the Mediterranean.
