150 BC

We have just endured a terrible battle

and we have won.

Carthage has been destroyed:

her walls rent, her warriors slain.

Her ships have been burned and her women raped.

We have met the enemy and eradicated him.

We came, we saw, and we conquered.

Carthage has been destroyed.

We mutilated their art, we repudiated their theories,

we salinated their earth.

We have done everything to keep them beaten,

and more.

Carthage has been destroyed, and we did it.

A job well done . We deserve a break today.

Let us sit back, relax, and enjoy our grapes;

sweet reminder of this day's victory.

We can get comfortable now.

For with Carthage gone, who can stop us?
