A famous legend about it is the city of carthage, a Roman historian says that the city was destroyed an sowed in salt. My simple question is, did this occur? On small scales or large? Thank you!!
While 'salting the earth' is indeed a thing around the Mediterranean, it's not a practical measure. More can be said on the matter; while we wait for a newer and fuller treatment of the concept, u/XenophonTheAthenian has in a previous thread looked at the salting of Carthage.
