    From Tunisia with Love ~ Carthage ~

    By tittou  |  Posted January 17, 2013  
     

    Carthage or Qart Hadasht ( the real name) means 'the new city' or 'the new capital' was built in 814 BC by the Phoenician settlers.

     

    There is also the legend (I like it better :) ) about how Carthage was founded by the Tyre princess Elissa (Didon).

     

    This princess was called Didon because she travelled a lot. She escaped her city (Tyre in Lebanon) and came to north Africa.

     

    Well I talk about her in another IReport because :
    1/ She is a woman :p
    2/ The legend is very entertaining

     

    This city expanded to an economic empire in noth Africa an south Europe and Carthaginians had to face Romans at some point in history.
