One of the most iconic events in their history was Hannibal Barca's audacious crossing of the Alps. With his army in tow, he defied all odds and left an indelible mark on military strategy. Carthaginian art also flourished during this time, with the bust of goddess Tanit being a prime example. This intricate sculpture showcased the artistic prowess and religious devotion of the Carthaginians. However, not all tales were filled with triumph for these formidable warriors. The Roman fleet emerged victorious over the Carthaginians at the Battle of Aegates in 241 BC. This engraving captures that pivotal moment when Rome asserted its dominance over its rival. Roman influence extended to other aspects as well, such as tile mosaics depicting fish - a testament to early Roman artistry. Meanwhile, Greek triremes made their appearance on engravings, showcasing both naval power and cultural exchange between civilizations. Even individual soldiers played a significant role in shaping history. A captivating engraving by Serra showcases a Carthaginian soldier who fought valiantly amidst chaos and uncertainty.

C. , depicted vividly through colored engravings that bring this epic clash to life.

On one side stands Hannibal while elephants grace the reverse - emblematic creatures that represented strength and might. From military conquests to artistic masterpieces, the story of the Carthaginians is one filled with triumphs and defeats alike.
