tbf, none of the three Punic Wars started over the matter. It was just one more reason for the Romans to disdain FURRINERS

    It reminds me of a fun thought experiment I often have when reading about that history (not that I've done that much reading about it).

    How history would have turned out if the Carthaginians had won that conflict

    I've heard that one before. It's such a radical idea that we sadly have such a limited ability to examine. I wish we had more extant sources on Carthage, especially since the Romans themselves reference (now lost) Carthaginian sources, especially on agriculture.
