Carthage has been destroyed for a long time as of now.

Here's an interesting account from the time of Rome's war with Carthage:

Zonaras wrote:

Now while Regulus was encamped beside the Bagradas river, there appeared a serpent of huge bulk, the length of which is said to have been one hundred and twenty feet (for its slough was carried to Rome for exhibition), and the rest of its body corresponded in size. It destroyed many of the soldiers who approached it and some also who were drinking from the river. Regulus overcame it with a crowd of soldiers and with catapults.

Dio the Roman . . . says that when Regulus, the Roman consul, was warring against Carthage, a serpent suddenly crept out of the palisade of the Roman army and lay there. By his command the Romans slew the reptile, and having flayed it, sent its skin, a great wonder, to the senate at Rome. And when measured by this same senate, as Dio himself goes on to report, it was found to have a length of one hundred and twenty feet; its thickness, moreover, was proportionate to its length.

After thus destroying it, he gave battle by night to Hamilcar, who was encamped upon a high, wooded spot; and he slew many in their beds as well as many who had been aroused. Any who escaped fell in with the Romans guarding the roads and perished. In this way a large part of the Carthaginians was destroyed and many of their cities were going over to the Romans.

I hereby lay down a challenge to all... If anyone can say exactly what my new avatar means then I will use an avatar chosen by that person for a whole day - provided it is permitted by the WP rules.

I don't know if that is how you intended it to be divided, but mathematically, it equals that as is.

Wow, that was fast. I've since added an extra couple of numbers to the three sequence so they are all sequences of five numbers. You are one step off claiming the prize!! !

I think you have probably gifted the prize to the first computer science student who sees your numbers.
