Carthage Naval Structure

"Carthage Naval Structure" explores how Carthage, initially a Phoenician trading post, evolved into a dominant maritime power challenging Rome. The book examines the strategic pillars supporting Carthaginian naval supremacy: shipbuilding innovation, port infrastructure, and regional control. It reveals how Carthage systematically developed its naval capabilities through technological advancement and logistical preparedness, enabling it to maintain maritime trade networks and project power across the ancient Mediterranean.

The study of Carthaginian quinqueremes, for example, shows the scale of their shipbuilding. The book progresses from Carthage's maritime origins through detailed analyses of its shipbuilding techniques, strategic port designs like the double harbor of Carthage, and the application of its naval power in securing regional dominance.

Drawing from archaeological evidence and historical accounts, the book challenges simplistic views of Carthaginian military history by offering a nuanced perspective on their naval dominance. By examining these interconnected elements, the book offers a holistic understanding of Carthaginian seapower and its lasting impact on the Mediterranean world.
