As I stated before, Carthage was NOT the conquering type of Empire Rome was in OTL. But it would expand its trade influences and transform into a giant seafaring business cartel.

Yes, but things change. Carthage being a mercantile trade empire certainly didn't stop Hannibal conquering huge swathes of Iberia in its name, and I can think of no good reason why Carthage would explicitly avoid conquest in the future.

Maybe in its later years, Carthage would've resorted to conquering if one of their neighbors started fucking with them and causing a giant hassle.

Pardon the double post, but I just had to keep this thread alive. As we all know in this timeline, global society and culture is so overwhelmingly orientated towards European homogeny as a result of Rome's legacy. Maybe instead this timeline's equivalent of the present day however, would be the same, only leaning much more towards that of African and/or Middle Eastern influence because of Carthage.

ieph: I've been actually thinking of just spending my time here, gradually decreasing my presence in AH.com. But in the meantime, I'm spending my time reviving one of my old WIPs sadly lost to the sands of time (I guess) Jul 23, 2019 11:24:08 GMT

ieph: In fact, I'm even thinking of reviving my wikibox TL right here. Jul 23, 2019 20:21:52 GMT

jennysnooper87: If that's the case, would it be okay if I moved the TL from AH.com to this site? Aug 21, 2019 1:53:59 GMT
