Mark Zuckerberg did not choose the ease of celebrating his 40th anniversary. By sporting a controversial t-shirt adorned with the Latin inscription “Carthago Delenda Est” (“Carthage must be destroyed”), the founder of Facebook sowed the trouble and triggered a real toe with Internet users.
Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder, celebrated his 40th anniversary with reconstructions of the places where he lived younger.
The billionaire shared on Instagram for rare photos of his family and friends at the party, explaining that his wife Priscilla Chan had “recreated several places where I lived at the time”.
One of the images shows it bearing a t-shirt with the intriguing inscription “Carthage must be destroyed” (Carthage must be destroyed).
The choice to wear a t-shirt with this particular inscription intrigued many people, who wondered if it had a particular meaning or a link with the historic city of Carthage in Tunisia.
However, there was no official declaration from the Facebook founder to explain the choice of this registration on his t-shirt.
Verification made with the Dailymail, the t-shirt with the registration in Latin “Carthago Delenda Est” (“Carthage must be destroyed”) actually refers to a Brooklyn restaurant today closed, which Mark used to frequent, according to the explanations provided.
