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.

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.

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.

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.

Carthage was Rome's equal, rival and almost her conqueror. In 146 BC Roman general Scipio destroyed the city of Carthage so painstakingly and utterly that not a single building was left standing.
What did the Romans so fear about the Carthaginians that in the end they would be prompted to the most terrible acts of reprisal in the ancient world? A new archaeological dig by Dr Richard Miles of Cambridge University, penetrates the burned layer of this Roman holocaust and uncovers fresh evidence.

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.

The ruins of Cartago in Tunis, Africa
Across today's capital,Tunis are the ruins of Carthage.
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 it was founded by Phoenician colonists from Tyre under the leadership of Elissa who was re-named (Queen Dido) in Virgil's Aeneid. 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 weaker after Hannibal's defeat at the Battle of Zama in 202 BC. After the Third Punic War, the city was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC. However, the Romans refounded Carthage, which became the Empire's fourth most important city 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.
