The struggle between Rome and Carthage in the Punic Wars was arguably the greatest and most desperate conflict of Antiquity. The forces involved and the casualties suffered by both sides were far greater than in any wars fought before the modern era, while the eventual outcome had far reaching consequences for the history of the Western World, namely the ascendancy of Rome. An epic of war and battle, this is also the story of famous generals and leaders: Hannibal, Fabius Maximus, Scipio Africanus, and his grandson Scipio Aemilianus who would finally bring down the walls of Carthage.
Adrian Goldsworthy is a renowned historian and author, specializing in ancient Roman history. His works often explore the Roman Empire, its wars, and its military strategies. Goldsworthy is highly regarded for his detailed research and accessible writing style, making complex historical periods and events understandable to a broad audience. Notable titles include The Punic Wars, Caesar: Life of a Colossus, and Augustus: First Emperor of Rome. He has received accolades for his contributions to historical literature, particularly his biographical studies of significant Roman figures.
Goldsworthy was born in 1969 in Cardiff, Wales. He studied at St. John's College, Oxford, where he completed his Doctorate in ancient military history. Apart from his writing, Adrian Goldsworthy is keen on lecturing and participating in various educational documentaries, bringing historical insights to a wider audience. This fascination with history often translates into his hobbies, which include visiting historical sites and participating in reenactment groups, helping to bring the past to life for contemporary observers.
