How did Caesar remove all the salt the earlier Romans dumped on Carthage’s fields?

It is debated whether this happened at all. It's not mentioned in any of the early records, and it may not have been put forward till the 20th century.

Carthage was destroyed in 146 BC. Attempts by the Romans to refound it started as soon as 122.

You won't find me trying to defend Roman methods of conquest.

Ahhhh! This is why I love FR! Thanks! You've been quite the educator this evening.

It was rather effective, though...
