Document Details : Title: Etapas políticas de Cartago hasta la unipolaridad romana Subtitle: Un enfoque diplomático (siglos VI-II a.C.) Author(s): ROSSELLÓ CALAFELL, Gabriel Journal: Latomus Volume: 83 Issue: 1 Date: 2024 Pages: 98-126 DOI: 10.2143/LAT.83.1.3293269 Abstract : In recent years, a number of scientific contributions from the realist school have analysed ancient international relations with great impact, drawing on theoretical models from contemporary political science. Their postulates have contributed to shedding light on the evolution of Rome, mainly in its approach to the eastern Mediterranean. Shifting the focus to the West, this paper aims to examine in parallel the political development of Carthage through a series of defining stages in each historical context. To this end, we will critically examine both information from ancient sources and certain hypotheses expressed by historiography. Throughout the study, Carthaginian diplomacy will become a key element in determining whether, or not, the Punic metropolis can be considered an empire. |
