Assuming Carthage is not destroyed by Rome, what would happen if, starting in he late 4th-3rd centuries BCE, they started turning some of their attention to increasing trans-saharan trade? Specifically, what effects might it have on West Africa? I've been toying around with this idea for my timeline, and I already have somewhat of an idea of what might motivate them to do so, but if you folks have any suggestions, they're very much welcome.
