The Last Lovers of Carthage | Rome Burned Their City. Not Their Love.

Carthage, 149 BC. Four years before Rome burned the city to the ground. Arishat is a master purple dyer, promised by her father to a wealthy shipowner. Idir is a Numidian horseman the city despises. They meet the day a runaway mare stops between them in the market. She leaves the violet print of her hand on the mare's white forehead. And purple never washes out. A 14-minute historical romance about war, choice and a love Rome could not erase.
