The Carthaginian's thought I was daft to build a Navy, but I built it all the same just to show 'em... It sank in a storm.

So I built a second one... That sank in a storm.

So I built a third one... That got lost, was militarily defeated, and then sank in a storm, but the fourth one was victorious!

Carthage ILLEGALLY defended themselves, it's a cut and dry case tbqh

Exactly. If Rome wasn't supposed to salt the earth at Carthage, then why was their earth so saltable?
