Expansion 350-250BC = 1800-1900
• Conquest of Italy = steady westward expansion of USA
Conflict: 250-200BC = 1900-1950AD
• Defensive Wars against Carthage (for domination of known world) = Defensive World Wars against Germany
‘Cold War’: 200-160BC = 1950-1990
• Hostility to Carthage and Greece = Hostility to USSR
Attack: 160-142BC = 1990-2008
• Destruction of Carthage and Corinth = Iraq War

Interesting how the scales change too!
Conquest of Italy / USA: 301230 km2 / 9161930 km2 -> factor 30.4
dunno if that is important but 2147 / 30.4 = 70.6
and 70.6 years is about the average life span of an american man!!
