The site of Carthage is located in Tunisia, the capital of Tunisia. Carthage means "new city" in Phoenician. According to written records, Carthage was built at the end of the 9th century BC. After the city was built, its national strength gradually became strong and its territory continued to expand. It became one of the political, economic, commercial and agricultural centers of the Mediterranean region at that time. After the Phoenicians became strong, there was a direct conflict with the Roman Empire. In the third war, the Phoenicians were defeated by the Romans. Carthage was flattened by the Roman army, as the Senate insisted. In 122 BC, Rome rebuilt the city on the old site and made it the second largest city in China after Rome. In 698, it was completely destroyed by the Arab army.
