Carthage
Detail of fragments of Punic mosaic in the Mago Quarter, Carthage, Tunisia, pictured on January 27, 2008, in the afternoon. Carthage was founded in 814 BC by the Phoenicians who fought three Punic Wars against the Romans over this immensely important Mediterranean harbour. The Romans finally conquered the city in 146 BC. Subsequently it was conquered by the Vandals and the Byzantine Empire. Today the site is a UNESCO World Heritage. Fine Punic craftwork is preserved in Houses and Villas in the Mago Quarter.
