Watching the program, I was struck by the many similarities between Carthage and Macedonia. Carthage and Macedonia for a while were allies against Rome and both were defeated by it. Although it may seem that Rome was perhaps not quite as merciless with Macedonia, Macedonia was completely changed after its defeat: its territory was divided, great numbers of Macedonians sent to other parts of the empire, and great looting saw enormous booty brought to Rome. Little survived of the original kingdom.
