Carthage's subsequent revival of fortune in the first half of the 2nd C. BC led Rome to decide to neutralize the potential threat posed by Carthage once and for all by destroying the city and annexing its territory.

Geography and politics caused it to fracture into a score of dialects, only to be united once again on the battlefield.
