The fact that we know barely anything about Carthage’s perspective, folklore, myths, literature, music, history not related to Rome, internal politics, everyday life etc. because Rome destroyed all of it is kind of tragic

We don’t even know what the Carthaginians called themselves. To us, they’re just ‘the people from the new city’. Literally the most generic brand name in history.
