    The Carthaginian’s thought I was daft to build a Navy, but I built it all the same just to show 'em… It sank in a storm.

    So I built a second one… That sank in a storm.

    So I built a third one… That got lost, was militarily defeated, and then sank in a storm, but the fourth one was victorious!

    Supremacy through ungodly levels of stubbornness. Basically, quitting was simply not in their dictionary.

    Lets be honest, the 3rd Punic war was waged on excuses flimsier than cheap toilet paper.

        Exactly. If Rome wasn’t supposed to salt the earth at Carthage, then why was their earth so saltable?
