Although at first successful, the legionnaires pushed deep into the Carthaginian parking lot but were eventually massacred by Hannibal’s SUV as he circled doing high powered donuts around them again and again.
Don’t be discouraged though … it took the Roman legions about a hundred years of back and forth fighting … but eventually the Romans won and the Carthaginians were destroyed
Ushering in a period of hundreds of years of well-laid out cities* and plentiful foot traffic 🙏
*except Rome itself, ironically
lmao, that reminds me, in the city of Rome itself, all passenger traffic was required to be foot traffic. Horses were not to be ridden in the city limits (save on special occasions), and any carriages had to be dismounted from before entering the city. Only cargo was permitted to be carried on animal-drawn vehicles. Thought FuckCars might sympathize with that bit of antiquity. Would that we were so serious about choking out traffic in our own cities.

Neat, I didn’t know this detail! I’ve also heard (source: bad memory from uni class) that they required cargo deliveries to only be at night?
Yep! I think that law may not have outlasted Julius Caesar, who passed it.
Really crazy how a single car could easily push all of them away
They need to use different tactics. I don’t mean just caltrops.
