Industrial area, Mozia, Sicily, Italy
Industrial area with ovens for vase production and the tanning and dyeing of fabrics, 8th century BC, in Mozia, a Phoenician island city, Trapani, Sicily, Italy. Mozia was a busy city due to its proximity to Africa and its location on commercial routes to Spain, Sardinia and Central Italy. It was founded in the 8th century BC by the Phoenicians, and remained an important city and Carthaginian trade outpost, thriving until it was overthrown by the Syracuse Greeks in 397 BC. In 1888 the island was rediscovered by Joseph Whitaker, who, through his Fondazione Giuseppe Whitaker, excavated the site and founded the island's museum. Picture by Manuel Cohen
