Details: The era of the Alpine crosser and general Hannibal is long past, the mighty city-state of Carthage is heading for its demise. The Third Punic War rages, the Roman legions under Consul Scipio have been outside the city walls of Carthage for three years, starving the population. In these uncertain times, the land is made even more uncertain by two ruthless rogues: Herodamus the Gaul and Berkan the Numidian. After an attack on a caravan from Utica, the two highwaymen get their hands on the beautiful and cunning Tara. She proposes a dangerous but lucrative business to them. While the city of Carthage is on the verge of falling, the treasuries of the Punic temples are still overflowing with gold. Tara is on her way there on behalf of the thieves' guild to steal the high priests' treasure. Herodamus and Berkan are promptly recruited for the heist of the century and suddenly find themselves caught between all fronts. "The Thieves of Carthage" is a darkly humorous rogue's tale and black-humoured historical adventure set against the apocalyptic backdrop of the fall of an ancient civilisation.
