Sophonisba

Sophonisba is a Dutch tragedy written by Pieter Willem Van Haps. This 18th-century play delves into the dramatic life and death of Sophonisba, a Carthaginian noblewoman famed for her beauty and political influence during the Second Punic War. Van Haps crafts a compelling narrative of love, loyalty, and sacrifice against the backdrop of ancient Rome and Carthage. This play offers a glimpse into the world of classical drama and the enduring appeal of historical tragedies.
