Do other sources match it?For example the sack of Carthage in the 2nd Punic War.We have records of Polybius.We know where the ruins are and archeological research has shown there was a city there that suffered widespread destruction at the same time.We have Roman monuments describing it.We have Cartheginian momuments/text describing the sacking and rebuildingSo its fairly certain that something happened there, was it the 2nd Punic War? Probably given the evidence its safe to say so. A forgery of that scale would require an awful lot of work to complete.How about Hadrians Wall.We have records of it being built.We have persoanl records of the Romans occupying it.We have records of troop deployments there, records found throughout the Empire.The wall is there covered latin graffiti.The wall was built using Roman construction methods.Roman graves are found on the site.There is a big wall where it is meant to be.So yes its safe to say that in the reign of Hadrian a wall was ordered to be built there and was built there. Unless of course you have facts proving otherwise.Of course why it was built would be more of a matter of debate.</blockquote>
