The Wars Between Greeks and Carthaginians

Sotirios F. Drokalos

Pen & Sword Books, UK/US, 2025

The Greeks and Carthaginians were the two most potent ethnicities of the Western Mediterranean before the rise of Rome. They built cities and opened trade routes from Sicily to North Africa and the Pillars of Hercules, interacted both as rivals and partners, and, in many cases, went to war. However, the centuries-long clash for supremacy between the Western Greeks and the Carthaginians has been neglected by modern historians, even though it includes some of the most significant and most dramatic wars of great powers regarding their historical importance and the magnitude of the forces that took part in them. Sotirios Drokalos gives these epic events the attention they deserve.
