Items related to Carthage: Fact and Myth
Carthage is mainly known as the city that was utterly destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC. This book tells the story about this fascinating city, which for centuries was the centre of a far-flung trade network in the Mediterranean. Carthage was founded by Phoenician migrants, who settled in the north of what is now Tunisia, probably in the ninth century BC. The city’s strategic location was key to its success. From here, the Carthaginians could dominate both seafaring trade and the overland trade with the African interior. Carthage, Fact and Myth presents the most recent views of Carthaginian society, its commerce and politics, and the way its society was organised. Chapters, written by leading experts, describe the founding of Carthage, its merchant and war fleets, and the devastating wars with Rome. These include the campaigns of the famous Carthaginian commander Hannibal who crossed the Alps with his army and elephants to pose a grave threat to Rome, but he was ultimately unable to prevail. Tunisian experts describe Roman Carthage– the city as it was rebuilt by the Emperor Augustus – and discuss the later Christian period. Finally, the reader encounters a wealth of information about European images of Carthage, from 16th-century prints to the Alix series of comics.

Book Description Condition: New. Sidestone Press, Leiden, 2015. 144p. Richly ills. Hard bound. 'Dit boek is niet een traditionele tentoonstellingscatalogus waarin elk object beschreven en becommentarieerd wordt. Enkele van de 250 objecten uit duizend jaar Carthaagse geschiedenis en cultuur die op de tentoonstelling in Leiden te zien zijn geweest, worden in 'Carthago' kort besproken en in de historische en culturele context geplaatst. (.) In zeventien korte hoofdstukken belichten even zoveel auteurs verschillende aspecten: van het Punische Carthago en zijn schriftsysteem tot en met het Nachleben van Carthago in de laatste drie eeuwen. Leuk om te lezen hoe de Nederlander Jean Émile Humbert aan de wieg stond van de ontdekking van Carthago en ook betrokken was bij het vroege begin van het RMO. Prachtig avonturenverhaal uit begin negentiende eeuw. (.) Het is een mooi vormgegeven boek en ook de teksten zijn goed geschreven.' (Annet van Wiechen on the earlier Dutch edition, Oudweb.nl).
