Rock around the world: Metamorphic, Igneous and Sedimentary

 Hello everyone,

There are three main types of rock and all the land is made of the them: metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary.

Did you know that Romans used as projectiles an igneous rock called "andesita", which they brought from Carthage Nova, during the destruction of Ákra Leuké at the end of the 3rd centrury BC, coinciding with the final stages of the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthago.

The devastion of Akrá Leuké is dated to the same time as the campaign of Publios Cornelius Scipio against Quart Hadsht.
