      There’s actually a lot more trustable information on the First Punic War than there is on the second or the third because of the writings of Polybius, a Greek historian lived in Rome the 2nd Century BC. Only the ones on the first fully survived.

    The "double siege" (as Drew calls it) was peculiarly Roman thing: Agrigentum (262) and the siege of Alesia (52 BC) versus Vercingetorix's Gauls, with Julius Caesar commanding the Romans. It probably has to do with the Roman propensity for civil and military engineering. Their instinct was, when in doubt, build walls, moats, aqueducts, sewers, roads, heated floors, lead pipes ... If you're besieging a town, wall it in. If a relief force arrives to break your siege, build another wall, but facing outwards. Romans being Romans.

    The story goes like this
    "One day a she-wolf saved a young boy from his burning village. She cared for the boy and nurtured him back to health. Then the boy impregnated the she-wolf, had half-wolf half-human children and one of them was a god for some reason and he started the Ashina tribe"

    Um, Drew, during the Punic wars Rome was not an empire.
    It was a Republic.
    Until Augustus Caesar, who became Rome's first Emperor, 2 Consuls (among other public officials) would be elected each year for 1 year term.

      Carthage is Rome's name for the city. The locals called it:
      Qart Hadasht, New City,
      founded by the Queen Dido, whose heart was broken by Aenas, a prince of Troy, who fled that city's destruction to found the city of Alba Longa which eventually would become part of Rome and where the Ceasar family began.
      Caesar means luxuriant hair.

      Corvus is Latin for Crow, since the big hook looked like a crow's beak.

    It's crazy to think about how little strategic knowledge some of them had. But it's not like they had access to the internet to look up the latest strats or videogames to simulate endless amounts of battles.

    From what I’ve heard, the Bagradas Dragon was actually a giant snake that the Romans hunted to extinction. Livy was born in 59 BC, about 200 years after the First Punic War so his account of the history probably isn’t the most reliable

    I was in a storm once and I was used to storms so powerful that they blocked the sky and turned day to night so when I saw a few fluffy white clouds that happened to have thunder I yelled at the clouds saying they were week, then I got a tornado warning, that was last time I yelled at clouds and laughed at nature
