  Taste in Music - Eating on Tour...

  Through original essays and engaging conversations with dozens of indie musicians representing several subgenres, scenes, and eras, food takes center stage in stories about being on tour and eating on tour and how this basic human necessity can create a sense of community and interconnectedness in one of the most mobile industries in the world. Based broadly on the subject of eating on tour, these entries each spin off into their own focused and exciting behind-the-scenes story, but all confirm what Pyenson and Bleeker suspected all along—food looms large in the lives of touring musicians, and it can be used as a gateway into understanding what going on tour is really like. 
   
   
   
  Stories that deal with the best parts of touring: meaningful cultural exchange, hospitality-induced euphoria, and the opportunity to build relationships around the world. And the worst: loneliness, exhaustion, estrangement from family and friends, struggles with disordered eating, and unsteady access to medical care. 
   
   
   
  So the question isn't, "How was tour?" It's, "What do you eat on tour?" Like the best songs or meals, these conversations and essays evoke something central about the human experience. They show us all the ways that music and food bring us together, break us down, lift us up, and add color to our lives.

  Carthagian Empire - Hannibal...

  Carthage emerged as one of the most powerful cities of the ancient world, a beacon of wealth, trade, and military strength. Located on the coast of modern-day Tunisia, it was founded by Phoenician settlers from the city of Tyre around the ninth century BCE. These settlers, skilled in navigation and commerce, established Carthage as a strategic hub that would eventually dominate Mediterranean trade. 
  From its earliest days, Carthage thrived on its ability to control maritime routes and forge strong economic connections across North Africa, Iberia, and the islands of the western Mediterranean. Unlike many other ancient powers that relied on agriculture and territorial conquest, Carthage built its strength through commerce. It became the heart of a vast trade network that stretched from the shores of the Middle East to the Atlantic coast of Africa, exchanging goods such as silver, tin, spices, and textiles. 
  The city itself reflected its growing influence. Carthaginian engineers designed an impressive harbor that could shelter hundreds of ships, a crucial asset for a state whose power depended on naval supremacy. This naval dominance allowed Carthage to project its influence far beyond its immediate borders, securing colonies and trading posts in places such as Sicily.
