Description: Carthago Delenda Est is a Latin oratorical phrase pronounced by Cato the Censor, a politician of the Roman Republic. In English it translates to 'Carthage Must Be Destroyed'. The phrase originates from debates held in the Roman Senate prior to the Third Punic War (149–146 BC) between Rome and Carthage, where Cato is said to have used it as the conclusion to all of his speeches in order to push for the war.
Description: "Carthago delenda est" is a famous Latin phrase meaning "Carthage must be destroyed". Famously used by the Roman statesman Cato the Elder in the 2nd century BC, it became his relentless, repetitive closing statement to the Senate to provoke the Third Punic War (149–146 BC). It signifies a total commitment to eliminating a rival and is often used today to describe a hardline, obsessive stance against an enemy.
