Obviously, the Romans had no choice but to start the 3rd Punic War and utterly obliterate the city of Carthage and sell everyone into slavery! That's what they get for [checks notes] defending themselves without permission.

You wont believe the audacity of the Carthaginians, they should have just died, now we have to kill them so they can learn their lesson.

Roman, sheathing his sword: "There! Now, I hope you've learned not to pull this little stunt again!"

Carthaginian: [is dead]

Roman: What was that, did you say something!?

Carthaginian: ⚰️

Roman: That's right.

Well, no, first we pillage them, take them as slaves and THEN we kill what's left. Those grand works aren't gonna work themselves.

A truly civilized response to self defence, the romans were really ahead of their time.

I love this sub.
