Scipio Africanus.
They sacked the city of Troy and burned it to the ground. They killed every male old enough to carry a sword and killed all the male nobles they could find, regardless of age (to end the line of Priam and the need to avenge it). The women and remaining children were taken as slaves. After this, they returned to their respective homes.
They wern't buried in the ground
Well to me it was all about the Trojan Horse, this is when Achilles men fled and the left a big wooden horse and Achilles and about 20 other soldiers hid inside so the king hauled it into the city as a victory prize, but at night the soldiers snuck out and opened the gates to let the entire army into the city then the war had ended as Troy was burned to the ground.

Believe it or not, ancient Rome held the lion's share of Europe, north Africa and the levant, with roughly only 200,000 men. By contrast, armies fielded by the Celts, various Germanic tribes, and middle easterners were massive. I do not believe, even at its height, the total number of soldiers ever exceeded 200,000, half of which weren't even Roman. Roughly 100,000, were drawn from various parts of the Italian peninsula, the other half, were drawn from "the locals." France for example, was defended by Roman trained Gauls, Spain by Roman trained Celti Iberians, and Britain, by Roman trained Cymry (the Britonic Celts). The "armies of locals" followed orders from Roman generals though, the commanders were almost always from Rome herself. Oh yeah, wanna know who burned Rome? In Nero's time I mean, wanna know who did it? Boudica. I'm serious, and its a valid theory; 1) Boudica was a ticked off mom, she was whiped and both her daughters raped in front of her. 2) She was defeated, but what happened to her is a mystery. Only an angry mother, would burn Rome to the ground, that's all I'm going to say. If you are looking for the culprit of the most famous act of arson in human history, it was Boudica, the famous Scottish queen. Very few Scotsmen, while they would tell me the theory is stupid, they would nevertheless agree, that most women of Scotland WOULD burn a city to the ground, over their daughters being raped. It was Boudica dude; let that "mystery" be put to rest. To further corroborate my theory, Rome was burned, only a very short time after Boudica's defeat, the time of the wars against Boudica, and Rome's burning, are not that far apart, and historians don't know what happened to her. I say, SHE, was the one who burned Rome to the ground; who else was angry enough? Who else had the cunning for it and the anger and hatred towards Rome for it? I ask again, who else? It had to be her man; the rage of an angry mother, is a very frightening thing, and the citizens of Rome, paid for her daughter's violation. Although Boudica stands guilty of the crime of arson, I doubt any modern jury would convict her. I am sorry for changing the subject but, in case you decide to become a historian, just throwing this out there. Rome was burned by Boudica she had; 1) The motivation. 2) The means to get there. 3) and yes she had it in her to do it. You want to know what Boudica is famous for in Scotland? Screaming "BURN IT TO THE GROUND!!!" at the top of her lungs. She was very fond of burning things that were Roman. Now, between her daughters being sexually assaulted, her being whiped and humiliated, seeing her people crushed and psychologically broken, and Boudica's battle pattern being burning everything to the ground let me ask you, what are the odds, SHE was the one who burned Rome? Or at least "lit the match?" What are the odds? The people of Scotland may find a point of national pride that Nero's Rome, was burned not by an army, but by one of their women.
That is a fairy story - where would you find all that salt? They symbolically put salt in a plough furrow, and after selling the people into slavery, resettled their retired military veterans there.
The Western Mediterranean. Tunisia. Carthage was being repeatedly attacked by Numidia (in Algeria) a client state of Rome. When she finished paying her war indemnity, Carthage fought against the Numidians. Rome was worried about Carthage's renewed military power and anti-Roman agitations in Spain and Greece. Rome demanded Carthage to be demolished and rebuilt further inland as an excuse to declare war. Carthage refused. The Romans landed in Tunisia, besieged the city, breached its walls and burned it to the ground.
