In the book "THe seven Hills" J. M. Roberts has a victouroius Hannibal giving rome the choice between relocating all citicens outside italia within 72 hours or annihilation. (the book goes on...)
Just recently I read that exactly that was more or less the ultimatum the romans made to carthage in 146 b.c., before they annihilated it.
So, what if the carthagininas would choose to leave their city? Where would they go?
I guess, they would tend to go somewhere on the eastern coast of the black-sea. They would have their sea, the romans wouldn´t mind for the chathaginaians could be a future thread for the eastern realms.
More exiting, what if they choose to go to england? The sunny shores of cornwall and Kent would suit them fine, I think. Until Ceasar reaches England, the carthaginians might have build a fine navy out of the strong english oak...
Of course they would explore the seas earlier than the inhabitants of albion int OTL.....
Would that be a topic for a longer story?
