The Fall of Civilizations podcast had a wonderful episode about Carthage that I found very sad and beautiful.

To be fair "sad and beautiful" is the standard for the Fall of Civilizations podcast

I found the story of Carthage to be particularly interesting because they fell because Rome was so petty that they couldn't allow them to exist. Cato was a dick.
