Huh? Maybe today... but Carthage was ancient Romes greatest all time enemy. "100 year war"?
That's grade school stuff mini!
btw... sorry I'm late! Merry Christmas!
The war with Carthage Honed the Roman fighting machine, gave them mastery of the sea and bequeathed them a vast empire. The war with Carthage was the start of the empire not it's biggest defeat.
The ones who had the lasting Impact were the Goths, Vandals and Hun.

Yes, but I'm not sure why you're sharing that with me. My point earlier had to do with how 'barbarian' was how the Greco-Roman world saw everyone else, whether in a pejorative sense or not. This would have included Persians, North Africans, Germanic and Gallic tribes, Jews -- all of them.
Anyway, carry on.
The origin was that anything that wasn't said in their language sounded like bar bar to the greeks and romans, hence barbarian. People who just go bar bar.
It's the enquivalent of saying Chinese just go ching chong ching chong.
It's razy lacism.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
