Thank you for watching.
Carthage was founded in the ninth century BC by Phoenicians from Tyre and grew to a prosperous empire around the Mediterranean. Conflicts with Rome and Syracuse resulted in the Punic Wars, during the second of which Hannibal from Carthage famously crossed the Alps with elephants. After the Third Punic War (149 to 146 BC), Rome completely destroyed Carthage, but rebuilt the city which became one of the greatest cities of the Roman Empire.
The Antonine Baths:
The Anonine Baths was a huge Roman bath complex in ancient Carthage, the well-preserved ruins of which can still be viewed today.
Originally built from 145 to 165 AD, mostly during the reign of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, the Antonine Baths were among the largest baths to be built in the Roman world and were the largest such complex in North Africa.
The baths contained a number of rooms and chambers standard to such ancient bath complexes, including the Frigidarium (cold room), Caldarium (hot room), Tepidarium (hot bath).
Although it would have once existed of many stories, the remains that can be seen today are mostly from the lower level.
Despite this the ruins of the Antonine Baths are certainly worth exploring and provide a picturesque location, positioned as they are against the backdrop of the ocean.

Ancient roman ruins of Carthage, Tunisia
Carthage was the centre or capital city of the ancient Carthaginian civilization, on the eastern side of the Lake of Tunis. The city developed from a Phoenician colony into the capital of an empire dominating the Mediterranean. It was destroyed by the Roman Republic in the Third Punic War in 146 BC, then re-developed as Roman Carthage, which became the major city of the Roman Empire in the province of Africa.
The site of Carthage has essentially retained the elements that characterise the antique town: urban network, meeting place (forum), recreation (theatre), leisure (baths), worship (temples), and residential area. The conservation of the site guarantees the maintenance of the intact character of the structures thanks to the national listing of the Carthage-Sidi Bou-Said Park.

The Baths of Antoninus or Baths of Carthage, located in Carthage, Tunisia, are the vastest set of Roman Thermae built on the African continent and one of three largest built in the Roman Empire. The baths are also the only remaining Thermae of Carthage that dates back to the Roman Empire's era.
The baths are at the South-East of the archaeological site, near the presidential Carthage Palace. The archaeological excavations started during the Second World War and concluded by the creation of an archaeological park for the monument. It is also one of the most important landmarks of the Tourism in Tunisia.
The baths are today part of the Archaeological site of Carthage on the list of World Heritage sites of the UNESCO. The 17th February 2012, the Tunisian government proposes the Roman hydraulic complex Zaghouan-Carthage, that the baths are part of, as a future World Heritage site.[2]
The Zaghouan the Aqueduct of Carthage is an ancient Roman aqueduct, which supplied the North African city of Carthage with water. From its source in Zaghouan it flows a total of 132 km, making it amongst the longest aqueducts in the Roman Empire.
Dougga or Thugga (Berber: Dugga, Tugga, Arabic: دڨة About this sound Doggā) is an ancient Roman city in northern Tunisia, included in a 65 hectare archaeological site.[1]
UNESCO qualified Dougga as a World Heritage Site in 1997, believing that it represents “the best-preserved Roman small town in North Africa”. The site, which lies in the middle of the countryside, has been protected from the encroachment of modern urbanisation, in contrast, for example, to Carthage, which has been pillaged and rebuilt on numerous occasions.
Thugga’s size, its well-preserved monuments and its rich Numidian-Berber, Punic, ancient Roman and Byzantine history make it exceptional. Amongst the most famous monuments at the site are a Libyco-Punic Mausoleum, the capitol, the theatre, and the temples of Saturn and of Juno Caelestis.

Carthage was founded in the ninth century BC by Phoenicians from Tyre and grew to a prosperous empire around the Mediterranean. Conflicts with Rome and Syracuse resulted in the Punic Wars, during the second of which Hannibal from Carthage famously crossed the Alps with elephants. After the Third Punic War (149 to 146 BC), Rome completely destroyed Carthage, but rebuilt the city which became one of the greatest cities of the Roman Empire.
Of the ruins of Carthage, the Roman Amphitheater is one of the best preserved.
The Roman Amphitheatre of Carthage was once a major Roman stadium, the ruins of which can be found near modern-day Tunis.
Probably built at the end of the first century AD, it is believed to have been able to hold up to 35,000 spectators.
Unlike other Roman Amphitheatres in North Africa, such as El Jem, the Roman Amphitheatre of Carthage has been mostly lost to ruin. Although there are sources which intimate it was still intact in the early middle ages, its materials were systematically looted for other building projects and little remains today.
A Roman circus near the site was thought to be able to hold at least double the number of spectators but has been all-but-lost to history and there is little if nothing to see.
The Roman Amphitheatre of Carthage is about 1.5km from Byrsa Hill and the National Museum of Carthage.

Come with me as we visit Carthage! An important slice of history located right here in Tunisia!
Here is a list of the sites we visited:
The Acropolium:
The Acropolium, also known as Saint Louis Cathedral is an old Roman Catholic cathedral located in Carthage, Tunisia.
Situated on the peak of Byrsa Hill and near the ruins of the ancient Punic and then Roman city, the cathedral was built atop the ruins of an old temple dedicated to Eshmun, the Punic god of healing. The edifice can still be accessed from the basement.
Roman Theatre of Carthage
The Roman Theatre of Carthage is a restored ancient Roman theatre complex in Tunis which is now used to host a range of events.

Exploring Ancient Ruins | Carthage, Tunisia
The city of Carthage was the centre of the ancient Carthage in antiquity. The city developed from a Phoenician colony of the 1st millennium BC into the capital of an ancient empire.
The first civilization that developed within the city's sphere of influence is referred to as Punic (a form of the word Phoenician) or Carthaginian. The city of Carthage is located on the eastern side of Lake Tunis across from the centre of Tunis. According to Greek historians, Carthage was founded by Canaanite-speaking Phoenician colonists from Tyre (in modern Lebanon) under the leadership of Queen Elissa or Dido. It became a large and rich city and thus a major power in the Mediterranean. The resulting rivalry with Syracuse, Numidia, and Rome was accompanied by several wars with respective invasions of each other's homeland.

로마가 워낙 철저하게 카르타고를 파괴했기 때문에 현재 남아있는 건 로마 유적뿐이다. 해안가에 위치한 목욕탕 자리. “지금 서있는 곳이 지하실입니다. 이 위쪽이 1층이었습니다. 보시는 것처럼 원래는 경계가 있었죠. 그런데 지금은 이 기둥만 남아있어요.” 로마 유적지, 그 규모는 대략 짐작할 수 있었는데 과연 엄청났다. 로마인들은 근처에 물이 있는데도 수백키로 떨어진 곳에서 수로를 통해 깨끗한 물을 끌어다 썼고 수로가 일정한 경사를 유지하게 하기 위해 다리를 놓거나 산에 터널을 뚫었다고 한다. 승자와 패자의 대단한 역사를 말해주는 곳 바로 카르타고다.

Currently the remaining cases because Rome is so thoroughly had just destroyed the Roman ruins of Carthage. Bath place, located on the waterfront. Now where it is standing the basement. The top one was the floor. As you can see, the original is kept boundaries. But now I have only two pillars remain. Roman ruins, the scale is enormous indeed was able to guess about. The Romans place the legs in order to maintain a constant slope is spent to clean water and drop in the number of channels through hundreds of km away, even though the water near it and drilled a tunnel in the mountains. Great place to tell the history of the winners and losers are immediately Carthage.

Antonine Bath's Carthage - Tunisia
This is a pretty cool place. 2000YO Roman ruins. Not sure if it is because it is February or because there was just a revolution in Tunisia, but it was absolutely deserted. Kind of just a pile of rocks now but lets try really hard to visualize what this place was back in the day.

Carthage - Tunisia
The ancient and once-powerful state of Carthage very nearly changed the course of European history back in the 2nd century B.C.E., competing directly with the Romans for control of the Mediterranean. Located in what is now a district of Tunis, in Northern Tunisia, the Carthaginian empire stretched across North Africa, Spain, Corsica and Sardinia. They were naval pioneers and produced one of the most famous military commanders in history, Hannibal. Yet, thanks to three deeply unsuccessful wars with Rome, Carthage was eventually wiped from the map and much of their glorious capital was built on by the invading Romans. Most of this video shows ruins of a vast Roman bathhouse built on top of the old city, but some traces of the ancient culture still remain.

Tunisia Travel Guide - Ruins of Carthage
Take a tour of Ruins of Carthage in Carthage, Tunisia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The ruins of the ancient city of Carthage look out over the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Tunis in Tunisia.
Carthage is said to have been founded in 814 BC by Phoenician Queen Dido and flourished into a prominent port city.
The city then entered into a turbulent relationship with the Romans when the Punic Wars broke out.
Carthage was utterly demolished by the Roman Empire during the Third Punic War and then revived as a Roman city shortly after. Because the Romans burned the town during the war, knowledge of Carthaginian culture is limited.
Ruins that can be seen today are primarily Roman, including the Roman amphitheater and the Antonine Baths.
Visitors enter Carthage by passing through the ruins of an ancient wall spanning twenty three miles around the city.
