Eh... Hannibal supposedly felt disrespected after the first Punic war when Rome claimed and/or made the following territories pay high tributes: Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica.Yeah, I know. But I'm saying that first pic is closer to what he would look like... only darker cause there would be virtually no Roman/Italian influence on his bloodline.
When Carth fell it was decemated.
In fact, one of the peace terms was that the Carthegenians hand over their weapons and 1rstborn sons to Rome.
They were of course killed, before Rome violated the peace agreement and razed the city.
In 149 BC, in an attempt to draw Carthage into open conflict, Rome made a series of escalating demands, one being the surrender of three hundred children of the nobility as hostages, and finally ending with the near-impossible demand that the city be demolished and rebuilt away from the coast, deeper into Africa.

I had listened to a podcast awhile back on the Fall of Carth.
The Romans decimated the african city of Carth because Carth tried to have peace.
NEVER settle with cacs. You must kill them all. They will betray you. Always.
Then Carthiginians took over Hispania (Spain) from the Romans which set off the Second Punic War. Wasn't exactly a case of peace loving individuals (Carthaginians) being victimized by the absolutely brutal side (Romans). Though, without a doubt after the end of the Second Punic War, Rome was incredibly brutal and made sure that Carthage never existed again.
