Re: The Battle of Tunis - 255 BC
Every source I have ever seen has called it the Battle of Tunis. Where did you see it called The Battle of Tunes? That sounds like something a group of high school geeks would have with their iPods.

Gah! You're right! Arnold calls it Tunes as well. I seemed to have skipped over the actual name of the battle.
Those are the only two places I've heard it called the Battle of Tunes, though. Honestly, I don't think it matters. Some people call it Tunis, some Tunes, whatever floats your boat...

If this is the battle that i think your talking about then it is also known as the Battle of Bagradas valley as it took place in said valley right outside the city.
"Something can be done, by careful analysis, to sort out truth from propaganda and legend. But this is where the real difficulties begin, since each student inevitably selects, constitutes criteria, according to his own unconscious assumptions, social, ethical or political. Moral conditioning, in the widest sense, plays a far greater part in the matter than most people- especially the historians themselves-ever realize."
