Search Results - Carthaginian

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Carthage (Arabic ??????, Ancient Greek ?a???d?? Karkhedon, Berber Kartajen, Latin Carthago or Karthago, from the Phoenician ???????? ?????? Qart-?adašt meaning new town) refers both to an ancient city in present-day Tunisia, and a modern-day suburb of Tunis. The civilization that developed within the city's sphere of influence is referred to as Punic or Carthaginian. The city of Carthage is located on the eastern side of Lake Tunis across from the center of Tunis. According to Roman legend it was founded in 814 BC by Phoenician colonists under the leadership of Elissa (Queen Dido). It became a large and rich city and thus a major power in the Mediterranean. The resulting rivalry with Syracuse and Rome was accompanied by several wars with respective invasions of each other's homeland. Hannibal's invasion of Italy in the Second Punic War culminated in the Carthaginian victory at Cannae and led to a serious threat to the continuation of Roman rule over Italy; however, Carthage emerged from the conflict at its historical weakest. After the Third Punic War, the city was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC. However, the Romans refounded Carthage, which became one of the three most important cities of the Empire and the capital of the short-lived Vandal kingdom. It remained one of the most important Roman cities until the Muslim conquest when it was destroyed a second time in AD 698.

Carthage was built on a promontory with inlets to the sea to the north and south. The city's location made it master of the Mediterranean's maritime trade. All ships crossing the sea had to pass between Sicily and the coast of Tunisia, where Carthage was built, affording it great power and influence.

Two large, artificial harbors were built within the city, one for harboring the city's massive navy of 220 warships and the other for mercantile trade. A walled tower overlooked both harbors.

The city had massive walls, 23 miles (37 kilometers) in length, longer than the walls of comparable cities. Most of the walls were located on the shore and thus could be less impressive, as Carthaginian control of the sea made attack from that direction difficult. The 2.5 to 3 miles (4 to 4.8 kilometers) of wall on the isthmus to the west were truly large and, in fact, were never penetrated.

1. Museum at Cartagena is a Visitors Delight
July 29, 2008

For travelers who like a bit of culture on vacation, a Spanish holiday in Cartagena is worth considering. This port city in the province of Murcia is an eclectic mix of old and new. Evidence of its Carthaginian roots can be seen in some of its architecture, though its rule has long since passed. In fact, the city has changed hands several times over the last few millenniums. As its name implies, it was founded by the Carthaginians. Specifically, it was General Hasdrubal the Fair who named the port "Qart Hadast," or "New City." He was lauded for his skill in obtaining the port in 230 B.C. ... (read more)

2. Ciudadela Tourist Information
June 23, 2008

Ciudadela is the second largest city (although it only has 20,000 inhabitants) on the Balearic island of Menorca. This charming town on the west coast has old sandstone palaces and narrow cobblestone streets. Ciudadela's quaint port, situated within a small inlet, is one of the smallest in the Mediterranean. There had been Carthaginian and Roman settlements here, but it was the Moors who made Ciudadela the island's capital, a role it fulfilled until 1722 when the occupying British forces switched the capital to Mahon. There has been an intense rivalry between the two cities ever since, with th... (read more)

4. Palermo Travel Guide
July 28, 2006

Palermo is the capital of Sicily and its largest city - stupendously sited in its own wide bay underneath the limestone bulk of Monte Pellegrino. Originally a Phoenician, then a Carthaginian colony, this remarkable city was long considered a prize worth capturing. After the first Punic war it passed from the Carthaginian hands to the Romans (254 - 253 B.C.) and later became a colony under the reign of Augustus. Under the Arab domination it obtains great splendour: it becomes an emirate and will hold around 300 mosques. As an Arab reporter of the time describes, from the interior rise one ... (read more)
