In this episode of Almost History, All About History Staff Writer Emily Staniforth spoke with Dr Eve MacDonald, an archaeologist and Senior Lecturer in Ancient History at Cardiff University.
They discuss the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage, the power and politics in the ancient Mediterranean, and the possibly outcomes if Carthage had emerged victorious from its struggle with the Roman Republic.

Almost History, the 'What If' podcast from All About History is a speculative history show that explores the possibilities of the past, taking key moments from years gone by and turning them on their heads.
Regular readers of All About History magazine will be familiar with our recurring What If feature where we discuss alternate histories with experts. We find a key moment from the past and we chat about how that could have turned out differently.
We've been having these conversations with experts for many years and we wanted to bring them to you directly, so you can hear them for yourself.
