      Not entirely true. Gadir, or as it would later be known Gades, actually defeated the roman armies during the second punic war, being the last bastion of Punic culture in Hispania. Hilarity comes here:
      Despite being founded by the phoenicians Gadir was actually extremely unhappy about Carthage, and had never been happy about being conquered by them (although they peacefully surrendered to Carthage after every other city around them got assfucked.) So the romans, once they learned of this issue, and before the third Punic War, would offer Gadir the chance to be accepted peacefully into the empire as a federated city and capital of the newly established province of Hispania Ulterior. Being a federated city is kind of like being a client king but smaller. It meant they'd be allowed to keep doing things their way but they had to swear loyalty to rome and pay taxes.
      What the romans didn't know is this was a much better deal than what Carthage had put them through, so they joined willingly and quite happily. And despite not having to romanize would progressively adopt roman culture voluntarily (until they became roman nobility thanks to supporting Julius Caesar and Augustus during the civil wars.)
      Point is. While Carthage itself was razed, there were refugees from the surrounding cities, and they would migrate to Gades hoping to reach the last bastion of Punnic culture, and they produced endless amounts of Salt when they learned that Gades was so mad about what Carthage had done to Hispania that they were one of the main lobbies behind Cato and the biggest source of auxilia behind the burning of Carthage. So that's a huge amount of historical kek.

      At least as early as 1863,[7] various texts claimed that the Roman general Scipio Aemilianus plowed over and sowed the city of Carthage with salt after defeating it in the Third Punic War (146 BC), sacking it, and enslaving the survivors. The salting was probably modeled on the story of Shechem. Though ancient sources do mention symbolically drawing a plow over various cities and salting them, none mention Carthage in particular.[3] The salting story entered the academic literature in Bertrand Hallward's article in the first edition of the Cambridge Ancient History, and was taken up by others. It was discredited by scholars in the 1980s.[1][8][9]

    Carthage did not refuse the terms and "call for war" -- the terms were a complete death sentence to their civilization, and could not possibly be accepted, and the Romans knew it. Carthage had already handed over all their weapons. They _begged_ the Romans not to attack Carthage.
    And it wasn't all kicked off by a border or territory dispute -- Massinisa was raiding Carthage and stealing prime farming land, with impunity as a Roman ally. Carthage appealed to Rome to intervene multiple times, and Rome refused. Rome was looking for an excuse to commit incredibly thorough genocide.
