Carthage: A History
Serge Lancel
Composition
1995 CE
Language: english
Translated from the 1992 French edition. Lancel, who directed excavations at Carthage for decades, anchors his narrative in archaeology in a way few general histories do. Particularly authoritative on the topography of the city, the harbors, the Tophet, and on identifying battlefield sites including the vexed location of Zama.

The Battle of Zama was fought near Naraggara (modern Sakiet Sidi Youssef, Tunisia), not at Zama Regia itself, despite the traditional name.
