How could Carthage have created a professional army, instead of mercenaries? Correct if I'm wrong but isn't the reason that they didn't was because Carthage had a lot of skilled people in the capital (Carthage). So, why didn't they just levy troops from Iberia, Berber North Africa, Sicily, or Sardinia as part time or full time soldiers?
Also, I might as well put this here. If Carthage won the Punic Wars would they have adopted Roman military technology or would they have continued using the Hoplities and other Greek military technologies?
