The Romans fought the Third Punic War with the aim of destroying Carthage. They besieged the city for three years and then broke through. The city was raised to the ground and 50,000 Carthaginians who survived were sold into slavery. They took over Carthage's remaining territories, Tunisia and western Libya.

Carthage was built as a Roman town 130 years later and became the second largest city in the western part of the Roman Empire and probably the 4th or 5th in the whole empire.
