Fall of Civilizations - 17. Carthage - Empire of the Phoenicians

Buried beneath the city streets of the Tunisian capital of Tunis, an ancient city lies forgotten...

 

In this episode, we look at one of the most dramatic stories to come down to us from the ancient world: the rise and fall of the empire of Carthage. Find out how this city rose out of the Phoenician states of the Eastern Mediterranean, and set out on voyages of discovery and settlement that put them at the centre of the ancient world. And hear how the city of Carthage was destroyed, and its memory nearly wiped from the earth.
