The late-Roman historian Ammianus claims that Juba II of Numidia read Punici lbri, or “punic books”, which may have been Carthaginian in origin. The only noteworthy Punic writing to survive is Mago’s voluminous treatise on agriculture, which was preserved and translated by order of the Roman Senate; however, there remains only some excerpts and references in Latin and Greek.

Archaeological evidence confirms that Phoenician traders from Tyre founded the city of Qart-Ḥadašt-or “New City,” as Carthage was known in its native language-in the second half of the ninth century BC.

While little remains of its literature and art, circumstantial evidence suggests that Carthage was a multicultural and sophisticated civilization that formed enduring links with peoples across the ancient world, incorporating their ideas, cultures, and societies into its own cosmopolitan framework. ­Early archaeologists could tell pretty easily that some ancient civilizations lived at certain sites — these places were full of old relics. We know — working in a garden filled with the same old standard clay or plastic planters can get really boring. Can China control the weather? Relax. Permanent elements that might not “go” with your home’s overall look can adapt just fine, with a little imagination. It might seem like you could have a lot occurring so that you don’t significantly contemplate these opportunities or perhaps you write them off since you propose on touring later in life. You might get lucky and find your number was not needed.

Torbern, like the seven dwarf miners, and like the garden figurines of a still current predilection for kitsch in Germany, is heir to the subterranean demons Agricola already referred to, pranksters who liked to mimic miners and thus cause all kinds of trouble. Like their Phoenician ancestors-whose identity and culture they rigorously maintained-its people were enterprising and pragmatic, demonstrating a remarkable capacity to adapt and innovate as circumstances changed, even during the existential threat of the Punic Wars. But during the Punic Wars and the years following Carthage’s destruction, accounts of its civilization generally reflected biases and even propaganda shaped by these conflicts. The Young Carthaginian (1887) by G. A. Henty is a boys’ adventure novel told from the perspective of Malchus, a fictional teenage lieutenant of Hannibal during the Second Punic War. Aside from some ancient translations of Punic texts into Greek and Latin, as well as inscriptions on monuments and buildings discovered in Northwest Africa, not much remains of Carthaginian literature. Its vast and lucrative commercial network touched almost every corner of the ancient world, from the British Isles to western and central Africa and possibly beyond.
