Before fighting Carthage on African soil, Rome started snapping up its Iberian holdings. The center of Carthage's mainland European colonies was a "new city" (qart hadash, or "Carthage"). When Scipio Africanus conquered the city, he surprised the Celtiberians by treating them as potential allies, rather than conquered peoples. The city was remade into the Roman mold as Carthago Nova, and it would only be the first blow Afircanus would deal to the Carthaginian Empire.
Status of Set 8
Note: This card was never printed. The final version from the design team has been spoiled to players on the Anachronism forums. There's no telling whether or not this card will be printed, and if it were, that it'd have the same text as the spoiled version.
As is, one will notice missing elements, since the card hasn't been finished. There's no artist or flavor text; ability titles are English, rather than Latin.
