One City Dominated the Mediterranean For 100 Years: The Navy Rome Had to Copy
In 241 BC, a Carthaginian warship sank off the coast of Sicily and stayed on the seafloor for 2,000 years. When divers found it in 1971, what they discovered on the timber completely changed how we understand the ancient world. Carthage didn't just build ships. They manufactured them on an assembly line — two thousand years before Henry Ford, two thousand years before IKEA. This is the story of the Punic barcode, the Cothon naval base, and the industrial system that nearly destroyed Rome before it became an empire.
