- Carthage was an ancient city founded by the Phoenicians in 814 BC. It is located on the coast of North Africa, now Tunisia. It was a significant trading hub and one of the wealthiest cities in the classical world.
The city was protected by a wall that stretched over 40 kilometres, was 10 meters thick, and up to 13 meters high. The wall was built to defend the city against enemy attacks. 20,000 infantry, 4,000 cavalry, and 300 elephants were responsible for defending Carthage.
During the Magonid (Hannibal) dynasty, Carthage became the leading commercial power in the western Mediterranean. The city's success led to conflicts with the Greeks and then the Romans. Rome responded with force when Carthage invaded Sicily, resulting in a series of wars known as the Punic Wars.
In 146 BC, Rome destroyed Carthage during the Third Punic War. Julius Caesar rebuilt the city from 49 to 44 BC. Under Byzantine rule, Carthage remained the dominant city in North Africa until the Arab invasion in 698 CE, utterly destroying the city.
Today, the ancient ruins of Carthage are located on the edge of Tunis and remain an essential tourist attraction and archaeological site.

Consequences of PWB, prospering while black
@@JkDibinethey weren’t black 🙄
@@nysportsfan2576 Blacker than you, that's fosho. Do your research. You behind
As a Tunisian I find it kind of insulting the way everyone keep culture appropriating our history. I never claimed the great Ghana empire as a part of history but I find it crazy this need to black wash our history. We are a mixed ethnic group, indeginious neither black or white. @@JkDibine

They were, Mauritania were what Romans called Carthage, meaning land of blacks. Hannibals real coin was black. Hell he's even a Hebrew. Hebrews are Africans.

Be wary of using BCE and CE; continue with what we know and trust, BC and AD. Please don’t be influenced by trendy modern attempts at denial of Christianity.
BC/AD will stay.
Uhhh what? Explain plz
And why not? Why must the entire world history beholden to one of the many religions? BCE and CE are much more acceptable.
I apologize for making a mistake. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Best regards.
I’m glad I’m not the only one to notice and be bothered by this BCE stuff. They’re trying to erase our culture and history. Thanks for bringing it up.

I hate the robotic voice
Others dislike listening to a non-native English speakers narration because they find it hard to understand. However, anyone can comprehend a robotic voice, and that's the main point.
Hannibal destroyed Carthage. He shouldnt have invaded Italy.
Well, the Romans took away big parts of carthage, of course they held a grudges against the romana
