Karthago

Carthage was the ancient capital of the maritime and trading power of the same name in North Africa, near present-day Tunis in Tunisia. Since 1974, there has been an international research program under the patronage of UNESCO, which aims to save open spaces in the ancient settlement area that have not yet been built over. The German excavations and research carried out as part of this program are primarily intended to clarify topographical questions about the history of the city, whose Phoenician beginnings date back to the 8th century BC and which was inhabited until the early Arabic period. The Karthago series publishes the excavation results with studies of individual monuments and groups of finds as documentation of Carthage's development from a Phoenician settlement to an international trading metropolis and later existence as the Roman Colonia Iulia Carthago.
