Read previewCarthago delenda est — mean anything to you? In a series of photos showing the Meta founder celebrating his 40th birthday, Zuckerberg had a striking black shirt with a Latin phrase on it. Advertisement"Carthago delenda est" means — very emphatically — Carthage must be destroyed. As well as being a throwback to Roman history, it's a throwback to Zuckerberg's own history. So it seems appropriate that a throwback — if obscure — Latin phrase should be at the center of it.

☆ Mark Zuckerberg was so scared of Google Plus he declared a company-wide 'Lockdown'

The day that Google launched its social network in 2011, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg called an impromptu meeting that turned into a declaration of war. Zuckerberg even turned an ancient Roman slogan into Facebook's battle cry. Garcia Martinez remembers him saying:"You know, one of my favorite Roman orators ended every speech with the phrase Carthago delenda est. In the end, Rome completely destroyed Carthage, took over its territories, and sold many of its people off as slaves. Of course, Google Plus ultimately never came close to reaching Facebook-levels of popularity — Google ended up breaking it apart last year.
