Check out Max Miller's video on Punic Puls: • General Hannibal's War...
In this history documentary we bring to life the city of Carthage, capitol of the Punic Empire. This metropolis was a marvel of its time, becoming the Rome of North Africa before being destroyed by the Romans at the conclusion of the Third Punic War and the Siege of Carthage.
We begin with a brief history of the origins and rise of Carthage. Then we layout the landscape of the city of Carthage with a tour of its major districts. This includes its massive triple walls, the byrsa hill acropolis, the Hannibal quarter, the agora, the Cothon naval harbor, and more.

Huge fan of the Roman Empire, but man, they destroyed so many amazing cities and wonders of the ancient world. 😢🤦
That’s Empire for you. Lol
And they were well aware of the harm they were doing. The greek-roman that was with the Roman general that led the destorying of Carthage recorded that they wepted when they realized that if such great States and Cities like Carthage could be destroyed, then so can Rome.
Same and very true
Worst part is the fact that the Roman’s didn’t leave it in the state it is today, it was the Arabs that decided to destroy the city during their invasions of Africa, they destroyed the city to build a new one which would become modern day Tunis.
That's why Alexander the great earned his moniker. He didn't destroy temples or wonders. He even integrated the culture and religions of the nations he conquered into his empire.
As a Tunisian I had the pleasure of visiting the ruins of Carthage and they still exist, in the suburbs of the Tunisian capital and they're so beautiful and give a Mediterranean vibe, I advice anyone who is interested in Carthage to give it a visit
The ruins of Carthage is the ruins a Roman colony and it's doesn't belong to the Carthage built by the Carthaginians
@@claudiuslabienus2237 There are still some ruins of Cartage that was not built by Romans. There are even some parts of the huge circular harbour that still exist.
I think that this fact is frequently missed in the West. Much of the “Rome destroyed everything and salted Carthage” taught in the West is completely untrue. It’s all based on the writing of more recent historians and never mentioned in the ancient histories.
@@claudiuslabienus2237 Destory romans fall of rome
Mediterranean vibe? I wonder if that's because of it's odd location in the mediterranean? who knows
2 days ago i was in carthage .. i was standing on the hill of byrsa where the roman church is now .. and i was watching the sea and the ruins of carthage city and its magnificent port in the distance from above .
It was a mind-blowing view especially when you imagine the warships making its way through the waves with the war cry of men eager for battle . And the mountains in the other side of the bay covered in light fog giving it a beautiful artwork that cannot be described
Max sent me here from Tasting History, and I'm so glad I came.
This was literally the best presentation on Carthage I've seen in my 62 years.
The artwork was excellent, a very lovely tribute to the Carthaginians.
I have always been fascinated with Carthaginians history, and your presentation here blew me away.
You've gained a new subscriber, eagerly looking forward to your next topic.
Well done!
As someone who has watched both of these channels for a while now this makes me smile to see. Wonderful crossover moment. Since I imagine you're looking back at Invicta's catalog now I'll mention that his "Growing up _____ " series are some that have really stood out to me (aptly including one on Carthage). Always love to see people excited about history content, cheers!
"On the banks of the river Styx, they say welcome brother."
There are an infinite amount of "what if" moments when you look at history. But my favorite has always been "what if Carthage beat Rome". Because not only is Carthage such an interesting civilization, but the very factors that lead Rome to its glory (control of the Mediterranean) would have also applied to Carthage if they had won.
Carthage would have brought so much prosperity peace and perhaps sped up human technological advancement. Rome was built over the skulls of its neighbors and through military conquest whilst Carthage was about Trade, alliances and maritime exploration. Carthage was by far more advanced and better organized than Rome centuries before Rome reached its peak. It's a sad episode of humanity that Carthage lost due to Numidian treason coupled with some wealthy short sighted carthaginian politicians.
Oh my God, SAME. I honestly think it's a bigger what if than "What If Alexander lived longer?"
@@mouath_14 so how is mercantilism and expansionism for the sake of wealth and influence not bad when Carthage did it? Because that’s what they did!
@@mouath_14ermmm....Carthage practised human sacrifice.....on its own children!!
that's just one aspect@@daveclowes1476
One of my favorite videos so far. Would be cool to dive into more ancient cities! Or a video of the roman siege on Carthage!
^^^ This ^^^
Glad you liked it! It's the final capstone for our long running series on the social history of Carthage. I'll be working on packaging them all up so can have a full video on all aspects of their culture.
@@InvictaHistory Baalbek, esp the underground there.
Makes me wish we had an Origins/Odyssey style game that took place in the Mediterranean during the Punic Wars, and we could explore Carthage that way.
I had the same thought. Odyssey is such a great game
Same thought!❤
2 of the most saddening things in history to me is the sacking of Carthage and the sacking of Baghdad...I honestly feel so sad when I watch any videos related to those events
The Roman sack of Corinth in Greece happened in 146 BCE, the same year they raised Carthage to the ground. There was alot of cultural items destroyed and looted there as well. As well as the sack of Constantinople in 1204 which saw the largest loss of art in human history.
@@KingNoTail They really were all a tragedy, it's one of those times you just wish you had a time machine just to go back to these cities and just walk their streets.
History dose has an amazing video on the sacking of Baghdad

CARTHAGE AND ANCIENT AFRICANS WERE BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE OF THEIR NATIVE LANDS,NOT ARABS,OR EUROPEANS WHO HAD NO CIVILIZATION IN ANCIENT AFRICA.
So happy to see yet another video on Carthage.
As a Tunisian who loves history and a farmer, it always amazes me when i read about the treatise on agriculture by Mago. his words still hold true after thousand of years.
The part about the expert gardeners and arborist is absolutely phenomenal and i can say that following their practices in my farm near Utica is bearing their fruits(pun intended😋)
Rome rebuild Carthage, and then it was destroyed to make Tunis 🤦
@@VntiHero The roman ruins still stand to this day as well as the Punic cemetery. What are you talking about ? The ruins of the first Phoenician colonies of Punic Neapolis still stand to this day in the southeast of Tunis as well as roman ruins everywhere. The people here didn't forget nor erase Carthage from history in all it's eras. the historical old city of old Tunis (Medina) is kilometers away from Carthage. Please next time ask local historians or experts before saying stupid things like that.
@@MKfanmomo They did destroy much of it after "Byzantium" stupid name, Actually Eastern Rome we’re going to take the city, so instead of letting the Roman’s use it, the Berber’s or Tunis if you want to call them destroyed it so Roman’s couldn’t use it AKA scorched Earth……… no need to insult, it happened.
@@VntiHero We went from destroyed to "much of it" that's progress but at least the city was spared a much darker destruction, which is total cultural oblivion like some other civilization. The memory and legacy lives on and we are proud of it like any other culture that passed or originated from this land. Humans are capable of much destruction but also much building and progress, have a nice day. Peace out.
I’m just saying Roman’s destroyed it, kept the farm land in tact for food reasons, since Carthage had the best farmland besides Egypt, but Rome didn’t control Egypt yet, Caesar even sent people to Carthage to populate it again…. Then later berbers took it, But destroyed it since the Romans were coming back to take it…..@@MKfanmomo
This was amazing. Nice animations, and art in general, and a dream come true. Always wanted to know more about Ancient Carthage layout and sights!
As well as other great cities of Antiquity. Could you do more about other great cities of the time, like Rome, Alexandria, or Antioch!?
Yes please
List of cities I want to see in a similar layout. Rome, Alexandria, Antioch, Athens, Corinth, Sparta, Seleucia, Thessaloniki, Salona, Lutetia and Londinium.
@@konstantinoskoutsikos9612 Yes please, I second that! Also add Ephesus, Pergamon, maybe even Babylon or Memphis and Thebes 😅
@@Alex-mn1fb Also Massalia, Syracuse, Mediolanum and Cyrene.
@@konstantinoskoutsikos9612 Absolutely! I see a fellow history enthusiast. My kind of guy 👍 😁
The title of this video is so *interesting* because I feel like if you said "Carthage is the Rome of Africa" at a particular point in history, you would have simultaneously every Roman and every Carthaginian coming for you out for blood.
Calling Carthage the "Rome" of Africa is not a good nickname for it because there was another city in Africa that was bigger and more prosperous than it. That city was Alexandria, when Alexandria was first built, it was the largest city in the world. It was the metropolitan capital of the ancient world. If anything, Alexandria would be more deserving of that nickname than Carthage.
Alright we get it dimitrios, you're a typical greek nationalist.
@goodchristianbottom9708 what I said is the truth.
Max is awesome!! I love seeing my favorite channels help each other out. It adds to a sense of community. And of course I love the level of detail that you have gone into about Carthage. It’s amazing how little I know about Carthaginian culture despite how much I’ve read about about the Punic wars. Thank you
Glad to have been able to spread awareness about Carthage and hopefully to have kindled a passion for their history in you. This is definitely one of the driving reasons for making the channel
you truly outdid yourself with this one.
i always especially look forward to Invicta's trips to Carthage, but this one was something else.
bravo!
Why does Dido look like shes from Africa when she was Phonecian? The Phonecians were not Subsaharan Africans in fact a massive part of the population looked similar to Israelis. Regardless Carthage was indeed amazing.
I love the little cooking segment in the video. Helps show us a little more how their life was on a personal level.
Nothing better than seeing a new video uploaded by you!
Came over from Max's Tasting History story on Hannibal and the food of Carthage. I love history.
You should have this skin color when you were doing the videos on Jughurta and Numidia since ancient North Africans were olive skinned or in some cases pale like the ancient Libyans. The city of Carthage and neighboring area was filled with neo Libyans people that were mixed (Phoenician and Libyans)

Whenever we think of Carthage its always about Hannibal Barca and his campaigns against Rome. Its nice to see a video about the city of Carthage and most of all its fascinating harbor.
I've grown more and more curious of Carthage over the years
So thank yoj for these videos, it's good to learn.

I am grateful for everything. You might be the only channel that have gathered and made such elaborate videos on Carthage and the phoenicians. As a phoenician descendant no matter how much thanking you would be enough. You are giving light on my ancestors that they deserve after being lost to time's sands.
Nice seeing Max here, i love when my favorite channels work together ❤️
I'm doing a research paper on the History of Carthage for my Undergraduate Capstone. I loved the visual layout of the city this video provides. Thanks of the great work!
Read books like Carthage must be destroyed. And Fall of Carthage. With Carthage must be destroyed being a really easy and pleasurable read. Richard Miles wrote a great book. Fall of Carthage is a bit more dry. But lots of facts in it.
Came here from Tasting History and did not regret it! Really like the visual style and the well planned "tour!"
I loved every bit of this video. It's probably the most detailed one out there. Keep it up, this video is a masterpiece
Excellent video Invicta. Good job young man.
I would love to see this style of video for other great cities of antiquity. Including Alexandria, Syracuse, Massalia, Ephesus, Jerusalem, Antioch etc it’s an endless list. Thank you so much for this content, it really helps me contextualize the history in a much more grounded, meaningful way! ❤️
He could do Rome this way that would be great
the majority of those cities still exist.
Always like seeing Max! Enjoyed the video!
Fantastic video, always a pleasure watching Invicta!
I kicked off tonight's playlist with this video, and then finished it off with "Tasting History," because I'm subscribed to his channel, too. Ironically, this made me see the ending "taste test" TWICE, and come away amazed, yet again, at how many of my favorite TH-camrs seem to know each other!
Great video. I enjoyed the Max Miller cameo!
Thank you Beverly Johnson for the awesome artwork, as always.
the crossover I've been waiting for!
I've recently been fascinated by the Cothon, thanks for presenting this video.
Great, thank you. Not sure it's the right nich but Schwerpunkt just made a video about the Third Punic War and he's plenty of Carthaginian warfare on it. I really advise that to anyone interested
Thanks for the heads up
Thanks for the tour!
Being honest, I greatly prefer these explorations of daily lives, economics, societies, and all other sorts of "boring" things over just military stuff.
History is infinitely more than just armies, battles, and bloodshed after all. Too bad those other things aren't as popular than anything related to those previously mentioned subjects.
Yep. Don't care about battle tactics personally
It is kind of funny that Carthage got called a mercenary army. When they were simply levying subjects living inside their empire who were ethnically divided and paid for their service. While Rome simply forced them to fight with nothing less than the same system but as "auxiliary".
And today we have such ethnic forces like the Gurkhas fighting for the Brits. And they aren't called mercenaries either. Yet we keep referring to Carthage army as a mercenary army, which gives it a "dirty" onlook. So I would not state that Carthage military stuff is boring. There is a lot behind it.
As far as trade goes, this is Carthage's main staple. And this also gets frowned upon. Due to it's lack of statehood managed system but rather a merchant republic. Rome probably hated Carthage for many of it's systems. Due to it being effective but also undermining the Roman way. Carthage simply seeked to make a profit while the Romans would dominate impose their laws, their system of governing and demand loyalty simply through statehood. Unlike Carthage which put up trade posts, and did not carthify the people. But let them be their ethnic selves.
I believe from all that I've been able to read that this lay at the core of the big threat between the 2 powers, and the proximity to each other. Especially since they both had allies in the same areas as well. Rome could not let this power with a vastly different system rule the areas they were in as well. Probably because the Carthaginian way of life might suit the locals better. After all the Carthaginians only want your resources and paid you for your services. While the Romans imposed taxes took over the local governance, essentially making people Roman citizens and demanded you to fight for them just as much. Who would you pick?
Very high quality production 👍
Super cool video! The art really lets you see what the city might have been like for a visitor!
Thanks for this very cool & informative video.
OMG the crossover we did not expect.
Awesome video!! Thank you so much
Even though The Great Harbor of Carthager was taken apart brick by brick by the Romans after they sacked the city. The outline of the Cothon still exists to this day and you can go visit it in Tunisia. It is now basically just a large donut shaped swamp with the island having become a small park. Besides its military purpose, the Cothon may have also served as the earliest example of a stock-exchange, since Phoenicians promoted the circular shape for their harbors to be able to facilitate large trade networks.
The harbor was also rebuilt brick by brick by the Romans when they refounded the city, and this time in marble not bricks and wood...
@@carlosimotti3933 Brick and wood? Carthage was way ahead of it's time in many aspects. It was an empire before Rome was even more than a village. The Romans simply hated Carthage for it's wealth and the dominance it had culturally, socially and militarily for centuries. It is as much an ancestor to the modern west as are Rome and Greece. Since these 3 lay the foundations for everything. Carthage lay the foundation for exploration and agriculture which the Romans handily stole from the libraries and translated. As well as the modern vessels the Romans had, they were copied from Carthage. Bricks and wood is what Rome looked like in its time they were at war with Carthage.
@@dgray3771 you don't know what you're talking about nor you read what I wrote yet you feel the need to open your mouth don't you?
The military port and especially the island pavilion was built in bricks and had a wooden roof. When the Romans rebuilt Carthage they rebuilt the pavilion in the same shape but with a much more monumental structure (Other than adding many more monumental structures such as baths, temples, forums, amphitheatre and circus to the new city). And the causes of the first punic war are well documented for any alphabetized person to read. That was the subject of the OP and what I wrote, period.
Oh and the roman Carthage went on to peak at roughly double the population of the punic one and the second most prosperous mediterranean city after Rome, lasting about 1000 years more until the Middle Ages, when it was destroyed by the Mamluks.
Bye
He just swallows the centuries of Greek and Roman propaganda on Carthage. He probably thinks Carthage was actually found by Dido in 814bc, Forgive him. Rome may have destroyed the memory of the world, but us few still hunt for every piece of history of our great ancestors.@@dgray3771
@@dgray3771 good answer. I would add that the irrigation system, water management and canalisation system across all the city was very developepd compared to Rome. Every modest house had it is own water canalisation, bath and toilet which was not the case in Rome, not many cities in that time had this sophisticated system. The roman bathes across the empire were inspired by the carthaginan bathes.
It is so sad what happened to Carthage. What a beautiful city! 😭😭💔💔
Thank you for the video - but now I am hungry, I'd really like to taste the dish Max made!
Amazing content . More Carthage videos please !
Wooooah, Max Miller here!!!
Beautiful video one of your best
Love it, thumbnail is grand as well, hope it gets good engagement.
Funny, the wife bought 3 boxes of that cereal. I was pleasantly suprised. They were pretty good for a healthier alternative.
They are not good as a dry snack tho.
I'm almost done with my first round of boxes and this has been my favorite sponsor by far. Definitely hits my sweet spot!
Super wonderful video that describes Carthaginian civilization through wonderful describing of its Carthaginian city ....constructions, fields, sea port and sea wall ,land walls.....all described wonderfulness of Carthaginian civilization were laying on strictly religion atrocities in its termination....thank you (Invicta) historical channel for sharing
Beautiful video! Love how the art brings this ancient city to life. How much in the drawings is based on archeological finds, ancient art and/or descriptions in literature, and how much is from the interpretation of the artists? And are the art pieces to scale?
I would LOVE to see a video like this regarding Nineveh
I absolutely adore the color palette and aesthetic choices in this video, especially the top down view of the necropolis. Is there a name for this watercoloresque color template?
wasn't expecting to see maximilian miller in an invicta video! Nice!
Carthage never had 750.000 inhabitants. The Punic city peaked at around 250.000 before the Punic Wars. After razing it down after the third Punic war, the Romans rebuilt it after some decades and it quicly became the second most important city of the Empire, peaking at around 500.000, same as Alexandria and, centuries later, Constantinople (which maybe surpassed this number).
nice, 2 of some of my favorite channels colaborating!
Fun fact about Tophets: they can be found in ancient Phoenicia & Israel too and there are many bones of children and animals in these tophets. The thing is we don't know if they sacrificed children or they were just child cemeteries. Afterall, Tanit is a nurse goddess and child mortality rates in that era were pretty bad. If only we had a frigging time machine...
They're also found in Turkey, France, the Italian peninsula, North Africa generally, Sicily, Sardinia and Malta-- most of the Phoenician world with, as I understand it, the somewhat curious exception of the Iberian peninsula. Current archeology has pretty well overthrown the "surely it's all just propaganda from Rome, Athens, and Jerusalem!" theories of the 60's. Punic scholarship has improved and many, many of the Tophet stones have been translated, and there's little difference between the prayer requests and thanks scratched into the capstones for sacrificed sheep or children.
Oh I do love Carthage. And I like learning about every-day stuff much more than big wars or deeds of leader X. So this is a great video thanks a lot for it
I realize that I'm totally new to this channel's content (I came from tasting history) and I don't really have a right to make suggestions, but I found myself wondering what a lot of words you were using mean. ^^; Maybe little pop-ups that explain less common words the first time they are used? Like promontory(?) agora(?) and other words that are no doubt the perfect word but made me feel out of the loop. I can of course google them, but point still stands.
Either way, really glad Max led me here!
Loved the video ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful animation I really loved it
Thank you for the good video ⚔️
I love max's channel! I actually watched his vid first ❤❤
A pleasant surprise seeing Max here
I love this city.
I've always considered the razing of Carthage to be one of Rome's most heinous crimes against humanity. This video really just enforces that idea - Carthage was a glorious, beautiful city that did not deserve such a fate.
I'd say the same about Jerusalem as well.
Carthago delenda est.
The romans demanded
1. Disbanding the armies
2. 300 hostages from proeminent famílies to see if they could be civilized
3. Moving the entire City severa miles away from the coast
The carthaginians didnt yield and played the ultimate price
Well it probably didn't happen, so I wouldn't be upset about it.
@@Slavesforsale1 you saying the Romans didn't raze Carthage lol you're funny
Shut up.
Excellent documentary. Carthage was quite the civilization and those walls certainly gave the Romans a bloody nose even as the city fell. The Punic wars are their own deep dive subject.
Yep they managed to hold out for three years despite being completely disarmed by the Romans. What's interesting also is that a century after its destruction, Carthage was rebuilt by Julius Caesar and by 1st century had grown into the second largest city outside of Rome. And Carthage somewhat indirectly played a role in Rome's eventual downfall. Because when Carthage fell to the Vandals in 439 AD, the Western Roman Empire lost its richest province of Africa. This drastically weakened the Roman West and gave the Vandals (from their capital in Carthage) an opening to successfully sack Rome in 455 AD and pillaged the eternal city for two weeks, causing untold destruction. Basically Carthage got its long awaited revenge on Rome though the Vandals.
@@barbiquearea Indeed. How ironic. Apparently the Roman commander who led the final campaign against Carthage wept in sympathy for his opponent as the reality of what was happening hit him. He then expressed fear that it would happen to Rome someday using the fall of Troy as an analogy.
@@manuelacosta9463 Yep that was Scipio Aemilianus who lamented the destruction of Carthage by reciting Hector's wife Andromache, who herself spoke while witnessing Troy's destruction.
Amazing video as always
You guys continue to prove yourselves as among the cream of youtubes crop
Pretty sure that the Cartheginians would have appreciated it to have their City be called "Rome of Africa"😅
The Romans basically came in and did that when the sacked the city and then went about resurecting it once more in their name. It ended up being a hugely prosperous city in its second life.
now it's the ........ of Africa. Even in the 90's it had this cosmpolitan vibe. all gone.
@@InvictaHistory Thanks to the efforts of Julius Caesar and his heir Augustus, Carthage was rebuilt and once again became the most important city of North Africa.

Its dones some Warhammer content.
Would be cool if he did a deep dive on Minas tirith or coruscant
Great video 🎉
Great graphics!
This was fascinating. I truly love history and I appreciate the people of the past a lot. It is true they didn't have the level of progress we have now, but if anyone thinks they were stupid is dead wrong. It seems Carthage was well designed everything with a thought.
Their architecture was certainly much better than ours. They actually knew how to build beautiful buildings and cities instead of depressing grey blocks.
Rome is the Carthage of Europe
As tunisian of berber descent, I confirm that we still use carthaginian naval tactics to reach our Italian neighbors.
With the transportation of blacks
@@zakback9937 I'm sorry for that, but they are invading our country too !!!
I was lucky enough to see the ruins if Carthage myself a few months ago. I saw a peice of the sea wall, which was really impressive, but so little survives of that period. And what does is Roman, mostly at least a century or more after the destruction. They weren't the most reliable narrators! Love the animations and artwork, too, though it would be nice to see pictures of anything that does remain
I was thinking "Huh I also saw Max upload about Carthage, weird coincidence..." and in he pops 👌
Carthage is quickly becoming an obsession of mine. Thank you, Rome
A surprise Max Miller appearance, to be sure, but a welcome one.
People tend to forget that it was also a republic🧐
Great video and art. :)
Oh yea!! Mr Max Miller!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😀 13:23
Incredible. I can really get a sense of what it might have been like. The ancient world was better than our times in many ways.
This content is so awesome man. I am a Carthage freak!
Good job 👍
I would have so loved see the city in her prime. The shining jewel in an ancient, and tragically forgotten crown. 😥
