OutByEaster? Posted January 29, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 29, 2021 It's amazing how many they built in Tunisia, especially since a quick glance at a modern map suggests they haven't changed much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ought to be destroyed, by the way. #justmyopinion I've always understood Carthage was the city, and Carthaginia the country. Or maybe 'Carthaginian' only exists as an adjective? Anyway, yeah.

(I don’t think there was a country as such, much like there was never a country of Romania to the city of Rome. Hang on, this is getting confusing. Anyway, I think you’re right, that it’s an adjective.) Edited January 30, 2021 by Michelsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carthaginia = The area conquered, controlled or governed by Carthage. I’ve never heard the term Carthaginia used for what I’ve always called The Carthaginian Empire or simply Carthage. I don’t mean to be difficult, but if you have source material to back that up, I’d be very happy for the clarification. The closest I can think of is the Spanish city of Cartagena.
