Adrian Goldsworthy's The Fall of Carthage: The Punic Wars 265-146 BC, published by Cassell in 2000, is a scholarly military and political history of the three Punic Wars by a historian specialising in Roman military history. Its authority rests on Goldsworthy's direct use of the ancient sources, principally Polybius and Livy, and its standing as a widely used account of the period. It is a historical synthesis for a broad readership as well as specialists, so a claim needing fine source critical detail benefits from checking against the ancient sources it draws on directly.
