Lords of the World: A story of the fall of Carthage and Corinth

"Lords of the World: A Story of the Fall of Carthage and Corinth" by Alfred John Church is a historical story set in 146 B.C. that tells of the destruction of two powerful cities, Carthage and Corinth, and one Greek man's fight against the growing might of Rome. The story begins with a Carthaginian ship, the "Melcart", sailing on a crucial mission while facing danger from Roman warships, showing the difficult situation Carthage is in. The ship's captain, Hanno, and his nephew, Mago, spot a Roman warship that threatens their return to Carthage. Then, the story moves to Chelys, where a man named Lysis has to make a hard choice that will affect his family when he learns of Rome's cruel demands.
