Background[]
Carthage or "New Town" was once a Phoenician trading colony. It is now a trading and maritime empire in its own right. Such are the blessings of Ba'al Hammon to his devout followers.
The Carthaginians are a devout, hard-working people who have spent generations struggling to control the trade of the Western Mediterranean. This has inevitably brought them into conflict with expanding Greek colonies and with the upstart Romans. Traders they may be by choice, but they have become warriors through necessity, and very good warriors at that. Through astute use of mercenaries they have turned their silver into swords.
