| Summary |
"Römische Geschichte — Buch 3" by Theodor Mommsen is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into the history of Rome from the unification of Italy to the domination over Carthage and various Greek states, exploring the interplay of different cultures and civilizations in this transformative period. The opening of the text sets the stage for a rich examination of the Phoenician people and their significant role in trade and politics across the Mediterranean. Mommsen discusses the Phoenicians' cultural distinctions, their strategic settlements, and the growing influence of Carthage as it emerged from a trading post to a significant political power. The challenges faced by the Phoenicians in asserting their dominance amidst Greek encroachments and internecine conflicts present a narrative of survival and adaptation, ultimately leading into the turbulent interactions with rising Rome.
