In 146 BC, Carthage was destroyed by Rome and became a colony. In the love story of Dido and Aeneas written by the poet Virgil, Carthage is mysterious. In the dramatic story of "Salammbo," Carthage is romantic. In the story of the Carthaginian national hero Hannibal, Carthage is a city burning with flames. It is also the Carthage supported by Christians for St. Augustine. Carthage broke the claim of historians that a flattened city could never be excavated by archaeologists. The Carthage of Tunisia, this African land saved by UNESCO, weaves together history and myth in the legend written by Azedine Beschaouch in this book.
