From a Roman perspective, Carthage was so resilient that it bounced back as a rival to Rome after being defeated twice. In the third war, Cato the Elder got his wish - the city was destroyed and people sold into slavery as a 'final solution'.

"Cartago delenda est" means "Carthage must be destroyed" in Latin. It was the phrase used by Marcus Cato at the end of each speech he made in the Senate, whatever the subject, in an effort to bring about the total destruction to Rome's rival in the Western Mediterranean, which continued to show resilience and continued strength after two defeats. A call for a 'Final Solution'.


Would you support carto call to destroy Carthage?

The call to destroy Carthage, famously attributed to Cato the Elder, was driven by a desire to eliminate a rival power threatening Rome. Supporting such a measure would hinge on the context of the time and the perceived threat Carthage posed to Roman interests. While annihilation may have seemed justified to some for security reasons, it also raises ethical questions about the consequences of total warfare and the loss of cultural heritage. Ultimately, whether to support such a call would depend on weighing the immediate benefits against long-term repercussions.
