Did the Roman's commit genocide?

>Genocide [...] or [...] fair play?
Genocide was fair play back then.

>>3093690
Genocide's almost always okay considering people with no convictions or extreme convictions can do it.

>>3093831
Or people with different convictions. Like back then. Stop looking through the lens of modernity.

>>3093843
No, convictions have always been a thing, that wasn't a modern invention, it's just very different

Genocide is a not a word to use when you talk about antique history. Romans didn't care about skin colours and neither killed any people for this reason.

Carthage was a threat for Rome security, so they destroyed it stone by stone the second time.

Cut the shit whit all that genocide madness

That's fair play desu

>>3093931
>Both tribes annihilated
>Lists four tribes

uh

>>3093690
This
Much like the Greeks, Macedonians and Persians the Romans were just a glorified tribe that happened to be the strongest in terms of military might because they eradicated every other tribe that stood against them from the face of the earth.

>>3093914
What are you talking about!? Rome LOVED foreigners so much they chose to invade them.

>>3093894
Carthage was not a threat at this point, Cato.

>>3093673
There's no genetic evidence pointing to wholescale population extermination. While Carthage the city itself and the city residents might have been destroyed, the overall North African gene pool didn't change much.

You have to remember populations were far less urbanized back then. If you completely wipe out a city, the surrounding area will still have a giant majority of the populace.

>>3093908
They were tho

You had lìke two choices

>Be Roman
>Be dead

No wait another
>Be romes little bitch

I'm surprised Rome wasn't burned more often desu

Its Carthago not Carthage, two different places

>>3093673
The only actual attempt at genocide the Romans may have committed was under Marius who was under orders from the aegis of the Roman Senate to "depopulate" the Teutonics and Cimbria tribes and their other Germanic allies during the Cimbrian War.

>Romans didn't care about skin colours

I doubt that very much. Romans were racist as fuck to anyone who wasnt greek or roman.

>>3095078
Not skin color.
The were had cultural bias, not racial.
>>3094933
By our standards today the Romans committed loads of genocide. It was much more militarily acceptable in ancient times.

>>3094271
Yeah there was totally no significant advances in technology or philosophy by those empires

>>3093931
Wonder what happened to Divico

>>3093931
They deserved it. Teutonic twats t b h.
