Hey everyone, and welcome back to History with Dad!
The monarchies are out and the councils are in. In this episode, Rome kicks its last king to the curb and invents the Republic, while Carthage polishes its own system of merchant aristocrats and maritime power. Across the Mediterranean, new governments, new rivals, and new alliances start reshaping the ancient world — setting the stage for the first real handshake (and future fistfight) between Rome and Carthage.
