  &quot;When my father was about to go on his Iberian expedition I was nine years old: and as he was offering the sacrifice to Zeus I stood near the altar. The sacrifice successfully performed, my father poured the libation and went through the usual ritual. He then bade all the other worshippers stand a little back, and calling me to him asked me affectionately whether I wished to go with him on his expedition. Upon my eagerly assenting, and begging with boyish enthusiasm to be allowed to go, he took me by the right hand and led me up to the altar, and bade me lay my hand upon the victim and swear that I would never be friends with Rome. So long, then, Antiochus, as your policy is one of hostility to Rome, you may feel quite secure of having in me a most thoroughgoing supporter. But if ever you make terms or friendship with her, then you need not wait for any slander to make you distrust me and be on your guard against me; for there is nothing in my power that I would not do against her.&quot;<br>(Polybius, 3.11).

  It&apos;s interesting how Carthage and Rome essentially used the same Senate system, and just called the top two leaders different names (suffetes, consuls). Did the Romans simply just copy what was known to work in Carthage or did they both arrive at very similar governing concepts separately?

  Carthage&apos;s system sounds awesome. That being said; the decision to stop the Barca brothers from destroying Rome cost them their civilization.
