The authors trace the development of Carthage from its fabled founding over 2000 years ago to its stature as international trading center that rivaled Athens. The authors skillfully trace both historic milestones and common routines of Carthaginian life. This book vividly reconstructs the beauty, wealth, and spirit of a lost realm.
