Description
Carthage, the ancient city that once dominated the central Mediterranean, has been shrouded in mystery for centuries. Founded by the legendary Tyrian queen Dido, it was destroyed after epic wars with Rome and lay abandoned until its rediscovery in the early modern world.
The gradual exploration of Carthage over the past two centuries has brought its story back into the public imagination. From the discovery of Punic artifacts to the establishment of scientific archaeological excavations, this book follows the many personalities whose interests and diligence led to a greater understanding of this renowned ancient city.
