Reviews for Rome Seizes the Trident: The Defeat of Carthaginian Seapower and the Forging of the Roman Empire
In all, De Santis gives us an excellent view of war at sea in the period and of the war itself, of great value for those lacking familiarity with the period, and not without some insights likely to be of interest to the more serious student of the subject.
