Nabaa: The Market Square of ancient Carthage was thronged with people of every rank. Pale-faced senators, frightened magistrates, stout freedmen, and black-bodied slaves, literally fought their way toward the ornamented and gilded orator’s box erected in the center of the vast area. As the aged form of Hamilcar Barca, nephew of the Great Hannibal, mounted the stairs and stood before them, his arms raised for silence, even his political enemies sighed with relief, and joined with the multitude in the cheers which greeted this leader of the Anti-Roman Party. None knew better than they, that if Carthage were to be saved from destruction, it must be done by a member of the Barca family.

He lived a mile away, up Butternut Hill, with Aunt Myra and Uncle Rufus Bates.
