Carthage
Ancient city and state, N Africa. Located near modern Tunis, it was built around a citadel called the Byrsa. Founded by colonists from Tyre, probably in the 8th cent. BC, it undertook conquests in W Africa, Sicily, and Sardinia in the 6th cent. BC. Under the descendants of Hamilcar, it came to dominate the W Mediterranean. In the 3rd cent. BC it fought the Punic Wars with Rome. Destroyed by the younger Scipio Africanus, it was later the site of a colony founded by J. Caesar in 44 BC; in 29 BC Augustus made it the administrative center of the province of Africa. Among the Christian bishops who served there were Tertullian and St. Cyprian. Captured by the Vandals in 439 and Byzantium in the 6th cent., it was taken by the Arabs in the 7th cent., and was eclipsed by their emphasis on Tunis.
