What made the armies of Carthage a possible threat to desert from battle?
Carthage was a powerful city state empire in the period before the first Punic War and also in the 2nd Punic War. Although they often had Carthage born military commanders such as Hannibal and Hamilcar, the military consisted of paid mercenary soldiers and commanders.

What is the historical andcultural significance of the Roman destruction of Carthage?
Rome had imposed harsh penalties on Carthage in its bid to neutralise it and gain dominance of the Western Mediterranean. Carthage was such a resilient trader that it bounced back, so Rome created a crisis leading to the destruction of Carthage to eliminate its challenge. It sold the Caarthaginians into slavery and established a Roman military colony on the site to eliminate any chance of resurgence. The Phoenician peoples in the Levant, from which Carthage had sprung, by this time had come under domination of Persia and then the Macedonians, and so had ceased to be the dominant traders in the Mediterranean. Rome began expanding into Eastern Europe, absorbed Macedonia and progressively added the Greek world to its empire, also including the Phoenicians.
