Question 67

• Option a: Rome was not burned to the ground during the Punic Wars.
• Option b: Carthage was destroyed (burned, fields ruined) in the Third Punic War.
• Option c: The Punic Wars were between Rome and Carthage.
• Option d: Hannibal famously used elephants (from North Africa) in his attack on Rome (via the Alps). So the false statement is a.
