carthage must be destroyed by richard miles

They began to export luxury goods, such as embroidered garments and cloth dyed in deepest purple. #4 The Phoenician cities were able to expand their trading networks greatly after they were able to avoid any threats from their neighbors. The relationship between business and the state was further reinforced by the presence of the patriarchs of the mercantile firms on a powerful council of elders. #3 The collapse of the Bronze Age palace societies and the emergence of a free market led to a golden age for the Phoenician city states. They were able to exchange luxury goods with other states, and they used these goods to transport bulk raw materials back to the Near East. ''Carthage Must Be Destroyed' is a fine, sweeping survey of the rise and fall of an empire and a glimpse into the diversity of the ancient world. #2 The Phoenician city states were able to continue their independence and prosperity by being masters of sea. However, despite their weaknesses and the threat posed by the major powers of the Near East, they had long safeguarded their political independence. The phrase is remembered today in its pithier form: Carthage must be destroyed. Drawing on a wealth of new archaeological research, Richard Miles vividly brings to life this lost empire-from its origins among the Phoenician settlements of Lebanon to its apotheosis as the greatest seapower in the Mediterranean. #1 The Phoenician cities were not a united political entity until over a thousand years later, when the Romans created the province of Phoenicia.
