Didn’t the Romans destroy Carthage by spreading salt on their land?

[DesertRhino]

The Roman spreading salt on an area thing was ceremonial, more like a curse. But back then, salt was way too valuable to spread across an area. The word salary literally comes from the Latin Sal, leaning salt. Roman soldiers were paid in it.

Salting the land is quite different from using salt water to quench a fire.

Tons of salt, ploughed into the fields until they are half salt, half soil is not salt water dropped from the air. A few rains, and the air-dropped salt from sea water has washed back to the sea.

Didn’t the Romans destroy Carthage by spreading salt on their land?

No, the Romans destroyed Carthage the old-fashioned way: burning, raping, and looting.

Didn’t the Romans destroy Carthage by spreading salt on their land?

I think that's an urban legend. Carthage bounced back under Roman rule and at one time almost became the capital of the Roman Empire.
