What Carthage couldnât accomplish in Sicily for over 300 years, Rome did in a couple of generations. I was definitely a fan of Carthage and the Barcid clan growing up, but man they wouldâve accomplished much more had they invested in a standing army, enfranchised the Libyan population, and curtailed the excesses of the oligarchs. Merchants and traders will always put their financial bottom line above everything. Carthage is an early proof of that.

The Battle of Motya happened some 60-odd years before Alexander the Great besieged Tyre in his grand campaign against the Persians....I wonder if he saw the parallels of history in these two battles as he built his own land bridge out to a Punic island. Alexander was well-educated and intelligent, so it's possible he drew directly on the lessons learned at Motya but I don't know for sure. Fascinating regardless

Awesome video, that covered much of the Greek-Carthage conflict in Sicily. Though that i would like to add that the conflict between Greeks and Carthageneans started basically in 540 BC, with the sea Battle of Alalia, when the allied Punic-Etruscan fleet, fought against the only Greek colony of Corsica, Alalia - today Aleria -, built by the Phocaeans (who had alredy built the great city of Massalia - today Marseille -, in the coasts of today's France). It's a crucial battle, in which for the first time in history was used the naval ram as a weapon. Also the Greek-Punic conflict in Sicily continued beyond 301 BC, with the arrival of Pyrrus in the island. And a fun fact, in a moment of historical irony, Carthage will be saved during the First Punic War from the Romans of Marcus Atilius Regulus, thanks to Greek mercenary commander, Xanthippus from Sparta.
