Episode 113 of Carthage: Rome's Greatest Enemy and Hannibal's Revenge turns inward to examine Carthage's own political elite—the oligarchic families who controlled the city's destiny long before and after the Barcids. Lucas and Luna explore the shadowy figure of Hanno the Great, the leader of the peace faction who opposed Hamilcar and Hannibal, nearly betraying the war effort. They dissect the Council of Elders, the Hundred and Four judges, and the suffetes—the executive magistrates who governed Carthage. The episode also delves into the commercial empire of the Magonids, the internal coups, and the factional strife that crippled Carthage from within, including the infamous story of Hanno's alleged plot to seize power. Drawing on Polybius, Livy, and Justin, this is the story of the men in the shadows who shaped Carthage's rise and fall—and the political culture that made Hannibal both possible and doomed. #Carthage #HannoTheGreat #PunicPolitics #CarthaginianOligarchy #CouncilOfElders #HundredAndFour #Suffetes #Magonids #Barcids #Polybius #Livy #Justin #SecondPunicWar #AncientHistory #History #FexingoHistory #NorthAfrica #Phoenician Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
