It destroyed the city and sold the people into slavery to end its rivalry for once and all. It then had priests symbolically sprinkle salt on a short furrow of a plough to declare that the Carthaginians were ended. The story of salting the land is a silly wild exaggeration - the cost of scarce salt was prohibitive, and the Romans soon established a colony of retired army veterans on the land.
