    During the Third Punic War he was old, but he was a paltry 16 years old when the Second Punic War started, and 34 when it ended.

    Man really hung onto life for another 50 years just to see the remains of a once-powerful city destroyed.

      Ah, I misread it was about the second punic war. The thing that set him off.
