 | | Because the ship's position led her to believe it was driven into the sand as if it had been rammed, she looked for a documented sea battle and found one obvious possibility. | | | Though Frost and her team knew there were other wrecks in the immediate vicinity, the urgency of saving the Punic ship denied them the time to explore further. | | | One fact, however, is certain: the Phoenicians were the premier mariners of the ancient world and by the eighth century B.C. had founded colonies - which historians call Punic - throughout the Mediterranean basin. |

| | After the civil war in Carthage had ended, Carthage tried to make claims to the land, but Rome stated that because Carthage did not attempt to retake the land for two years, she had given up her rights to the land (Frank, 114). | | | The lack of a forfeiture of Sardinia to Rome reinforces the fact that at the time Rome practiced a very simple foreign policy that did not seek out lands that were not aggressors. | | | Carthage had simply been reacting to an intruding conqueror, and simply sought to protect herself. |

| | According to the Greek historian Polybius of Megalopolis (c.200-c.118), the First Punic War (264-241) between Carthage and Rome was "the longest and most severely contested war in history". | | | And one of the reasons which induced me to narrate the history of the war named above at some length is just this, that my readers should, in this case too, not be kept in ignorance of the beginning - how, when, and for what reasons the Romans first took to the sea. | | | This ship they now used as a model, and built their whole fleet on its pattern; so that it is evident that if this had not occurred they would have been entirely prevented from carrying out their design by lack of practical knowledge. |
