Founded by the Phoenicians in the 8th Century BC, the ancient city of Carthage was a powerhouse in the Mediterranean for centuries. It fell under Roman rule in the 1st Century BC and became the administrative center of the Roman province of Africa. Remarkably well-preserved Punic and Roman structures, including cisterns, baths, temples, villas and an ampitheater, make it one of the world's most important and popular archaelogical sites. Tunis, Tunisia.
