//we roasting Rome? good good. While we’re on the topic, allow me to just remind everyone the romans found this fennel with contraceptive effects and unironically used it to extinction.

After her reconstruction under Augustus, Carthage had very little idea how to regard the things that were the land she'd once ruled.

[the-marxist-mash]

my favorite history fact is that when carthage was gearing up for the second punic war they were conquering all the lands between them and rome, which scared the romans enough for them to send a mesage saying “hey why the fuck are you conquering towards us?” and Hannibals response was “we’re conquering other lands so we can get money to pay the debt we owe you” 

And cuz the romans were the romans they were just like

So, what do you think about Iberia and her/his kids (//not sure of which (binary) gender you see them as)

"I am proud, to say the least. I watched Iberia go from an annoying young buck to a man; though always a pain in the ass and stubborn as an ox, he was dear to me. I wish I could have done more to repel the offensives in Ispania but no point dwelling on old losses.

His kids (probably), are my kids too — having inherited the talents of sailing and trading as I did from my brothers. Brave, young nations with big, emerald eyes full of hope — and they carry the legacy of when I was a grand mercantile Empire with them. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree it seems... given that like me, Spain and Portugal were the conquistadors; seeking gold, claim and coasts. I found that Tyre was right.

It really does run in the family."

Anonymous asked: I bet Carthage has a smile that gets her all the good deals when she's trading.

"Confidence in your dealings is a good way to profiteer — and that gives me another reason to smile."
