Part 2: Carthage: One City, Two Empires
Carthage: in ancient times, the dazzling capital of the Mediterranean trading power, today a field of ruins in a suburb of Tunis. Why did this important metropolis fall?
Carthage’s location on the Mediterranean – at the center of important trade routes – was strategically ideal. The seafaring Carthaginians ruled the Mediterranean at that time. The remains of their architecturally sophisticated harbor complex are still visible today. During the Third Punic War, the Romans conquered and destroyed the city in 146 BC. As Carthage flourished again within the Roman Empire, imposing buildings such as the Baths of Antonius Pius and an amphitheater were built. The 135-kilometer-long aqueduct, which supplies the city with water, also went down in history as an ingenious Roman construction.
Today, Byrsa hill showcases intertwined Punic and Roman relics, symbolizing Carthage’s enduring legacy linking two civilizations. Phoenicians and Romans, two civilizations eternally connected in the ruins of Carthage on the Mediterranean.
