Carthage | Exploring Tunisia!!
Taking a trip back in time!
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.
Originally built during the time of Roman control of Carthage, the theatre is believed to have been destroyed during the Vandal invasions of the 5th century AD.
The Antonine Baths
The Antonine 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.
Port Punic
The Carthage Punic Port and Punic Port Museum can be found in the area of the ancient Carthaginian harbour near modern day Tunis.
This ancient superpower built its reputation on its mastery of the seas and the ancient Port of Carthage would have once help over two hundred of the most powerful warships of the time.

It allows the visitor to appreciate the magnitude of the city during the Punic and Roman eras. Some of the best pieces found in excavations are limestone/marble carvings, depicting animals, plants and even human sculptures. Of special note is a marble sarcophagus of a priest and priestess from the 3rd century BC, discovered in the necropolis of Carthage. The Museum also has a noted collection of masks and jewellery in cast glass, Roman mosaics including the famous Lady of Carthage, a vast collection of Roman amphoras.

The Roman Amphitheater, Carthage,Tunisia
Watch The Antonine Baths in this link:
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.

Carthage Museum
Carthage National Museum includes a range of interesting finds, from jewellery, weaponry, tombs and funeral masks to Roman mosaics and day-to-day household items, that give us a better idea about life in ancient Carthage, the conflicts with the Roman Republic and the eventual destruction of the Punic city by Rome, without forgetting the new Roman city and the Roman period itself as well as the story of Byzantine rule and the Arab conquest.
