Finally, Carthage would be conduit of two major trade routes: one between the Tyrian colony of Cadiz in southern Spain, which supplied raw materials for manufacturing in Tyre, and the other between North Africa and the northern Mediterranean, namely Sicily, Italy, and Greece. Carthage took control of all nearby Phoenician colonies, including Hadrumetum, Utica, Hippo Diarrhytus and Kerkouane; subjugated many neighboring Libyan tribes, and occupied coastal North Africa from Morocco to western Libya. In contrast to most Phoenician colonies, Carthage grew larger and more quickly thanks to its combination of favorable climate, arable land, and lucrative trade routes.

Organized in fiercely independent city-states, the Phoenicians lacked the numbers or even the desire to expand overseas; most colonies had fewer than 1,000 inhabitants, and only a few, including Carthage, would grow larger.

“When you’re thinking about traveling, think about where you’re going and what public health mandates they still might have in place because of the covid numbers or the vaccination rates,” she said. By the sixth century BC, Tyre’s power declined further still after its voluntary submission to the Persian king Cambyses (r. It nonetheless maintained amicable cultural, political, and commercial ties with its founding city and the Phoenician homeland; it continued to receive migrants from Tyre, and for a time continued the practice of sending annual tribute to Tyre’s temple of Melqart, albeit at irregular intervals. Though it escaped reprisal, Tyre’s status as Phoenicia’s leading city was significantly circumscribed; its rival, Sidon, subsequently garnered more support from the Persians. The city was built on a hilly, triangular peninsula backed by the Lake of Tunis, which provided abundant supplies of fish and a place for safe harbor. The peninsula was connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land, which combined with the rough surrounding terrain, made the city easily defensible; a citadel was built on Byrsa, a low hill overlooking the sea. It is unknown what factors influenced the citizens of Carthage, unlike those of other Phoenician colonies, to create an economic and political hegemony; the nearby city of Utica was far older and enjoyed the same geographical and political advantages, but never embarked on hegemonic conquest, instead coming under Carthaginian influence.


Whereas other Phoenician cities never exercised actual control of the colonies, the Carthaginians appointed magistrates to directly control their own (a policy that would lead to a number of Iberian towns siding with the Romans during the Punic Wars). Many electronic devices cannot show the exponent, or power, to which a number is raised as a superscript (small and raised). He is also credited with initiating, or at least expanding, the practice of recruiting subject peoples and mercenaries, as Carthage’s population was too small to secure and defend its scattered colonies. Although Carthaginians remained staunchly Phoenician in their customs and faith, by at least the seventh century BC, they had developed a distinct Punic culture infused with local influences.

Carthage may have also retained religious practices that had long fallen out of favor in Tyre, such as child sacrifice. These stories typify the Roman attitude towards Carthage: a level of grudging respect and acknowledgement of their bravery, prosperity, and even their city’s seniority to Rome, along with derision of their cruelty, deviousness, and decadence, as exemplified by their practice of human sacrifice. However, even the public announcement on Jan. 20 left the U.S. However, it too remained subjugated, leading the way for Carthage to fill the vacuum as the leading Phoenician political power.
