We explore the hidden history of Carthage that gets all too often overlooked by the Punic Wars with Rome. In this documentary episode we focus on the Government of Ancient Carthage. The episode begins with an overview of the history of Carthage before covering the specific levels of government. These include the suffetes, the senate, the popular assembly, the generals, the commissions, and more.

Stay tuned for more history documentaries on the rise and fall of Carthage and the social history of this forgotten civilization. Eventually we will also cover the famed Punic Wars with Rome but with a far greater understanding for the North African empire. See our How They Did It and Moments in History series for more documentary videos.
