Carthage
Low angle view of arches of the Roman Acqueduct of Zaghouan, Carthage, Tunisia, pictured on January 30, 2008, in the morning. 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 it is a UNESCO World Heritage. The aqueduct was built in the 2nd century AD, during the reign of the emperor Hadrian and supplied the nearby cisterns (Citernes de la Malga). Picture by Manuel Cohen
