Using current science and ancient histories at its height Carthage had around 150,-300,000 people.

I have data that on place of Rome was settlement of several fishermen houses in that time(350-330BC).
Rome was inhabited with refuges from territories occupied by uncontrolled migration groups during those 70-80 years...Carthage needed this territory also.

Lets leave Rome out ok? As for Carthage, ehat are you advocating? Even in its infancy it had 30,000 people. It inherited the Spanish metal trade and took over the Tyrhennian trade. She also absorbed many of the Phoencian colonies, its quite easy to trace her empire.

I think Medenaywe's saying that Alexander was successful because he won local consent by adopting the Persian practise of allowing conquered subjects to rule themselves.

Not a simply Persian practice. Is he advocating a subjugated Rome and Carthage?

I beleive so. There are examples of conquered nations "civilising" barbarian invaders, most notably the Romans in Greece

Neither Rome nor Carthage was conquered end of story unless you provide some new evidence.

Conquerors can be culturally lured and converted as Rome was and Carthage was partially.

I think that's what Medenaywe meant. The Brits adopted many aspects of Indian culture during the 19th century, as did the Mughals before them

Yet that isn't conquering in itself.

Delenda, it could be interpreted as a form of cultural conquest. Ultimately, the conquered nation could become more influential than its colonial master, like Byzantium after the fall of Rome

Carthage retained a distictive blend of Punic and Greek culture. If more one than the pther it was more Phoenecian.
