146 BCE
The final siege of Carthage. Rome wanted an end to the Carthagian uprising and attacks against Rome. This time the Roman elite centurions massacred the people, as there were no soldiers left to defend the city. They also sowed the fields with salt so Carthage would never rise again.
Modern day Tunisia.
