Imagine a scenario where Rome and Carthage, two of the most powerful civilizations of the ancient world, formed a strategic alliance instead of engaging in the Punic Wars. In this exploration, we analyze the potential consequences of a united front against external threats, such as the rise of the Macedonian Empire and the expansion of the Hellenistic world. How would this alliance have reshaped trade routes, military strategies, and cultural exchanges in the Mediterranean? Our hosts will examine the intricate political dynamics and speculate on how this alternate timeline could have altered the course of Western civilization, potentially leading to a different balance of power in the ancient world.
