Punic inscriptions from Carthage. 19th-century artwork of five sets of inscriptions in the Punic language used in Carthage. These inscriptions are from the necropolis at the Numidian city of Makther (Mactaris). Carthage, in North Africa in what is now Tunisia, ruled a Mediterranean empire that reached the peak of its power in the third century BC. This artwork is from an 1842 communication by British antiquarian Hudson Gurney (1775-1864), relaying French descriptions by the Danish Consul-General in Tunisia, C. T. Falbe (1791-1849). Published in Volume 30 (1844) of 'Archaeologia', the journal of the Society of Antiquaries of London.
