(edit: repost since I noticed the original post wasn't updating properly...)

Map showing select / colonies and settlements with their known or reasonably suggested endonymic names.

This map is more information card than eye-candy, with a look-up table of settlements, being a review of almost 90 different sources. As always all information is on the image. There are two versions here: A and B, with B being for if A is too hard to read.

I did try to automate citations due to the ridiculous amount of reading. There may be errors due to the software.

Coinciding with the release of my novels as audiobooks, part of the opening chapter also features in this recent podcast.

It's quite a romantic scene and it was wonderful to listen to such an accomplished narrator read it. It was also nice to listen to a female narrator interpret it. It was read by Glenda Villamar and she conveys the emotions and hopes of the characters exceptionally well. I will be listening to this many times!

TIL that the Punic surname “Barca”, as in the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca (and his father Hasdrubal), is Phoenician for “lightning”. I don’t know how I never made the connection before, given that Phoenician is Semitic and I speak Hebrew (where the same √brq root is also used to mean “lightning”). I guess my brain is just in full on Latin Mode or something when I’m thinking of ancient Rome? Anyway - Hannibal “Lightning” Barca! ⚡️

In it, Cicero makes reference to the relative vigour Masinissa had possessed in his 90th year. (148BC) During the previous year, the King had raided Carthage in a provocation which would lead to the third and last war between and .
