Footnotes
3. Revolted against Constans II and established an independent state around Carthage in 641. Eight years later the region fell to the Arabs. The interior remained in the hands of the Berbers however, and they would not be subdued for another two generations.
1. The Oligarch was run by council, similar to Phoenician custom, generally two people would be elected from the wealthiest families to serve as judges or consuls. The position could be likened to president or prime minister.
2. Of elephants over the Alps fame. Contrary to popular belief, Hannibal (Hannu-baal)'s career did not end with the Roman victory at Zama. He escaped to Carthage, and after the conclusion of the peace treaty in 201 was even elected suffete (consul) in 196. He reformed the government in order to pay the heavy tribute imposed by Rome. Denounced to the Romans for allegedly intriguing against Rome, he fled (195) to Antiochus III of Syria. He took a small part in Antiochus' war with Rome, and after the Syrian defeat he fled again, this time to Bithynia. About to be delivered to the Romans, he poisoned himself.
