A votive stele made of gray limestone bearing an inscription, beneath which is engraved the face of a teenager clad in a chlamys, whose still, distant gaze seems to be questioning the invisible world. The remarkable intensity of the expression can be compared to Greek or Hellenistic art (H. 75 cm, W. 16 cm, 3rd century BCE, Tophet, Carthage, Carthage Museum)© Images de Tunisie — watermarked preview

A Punic residential quarter on Byrsa Hill in Carthage. At the summit of Byrsa Hill, the site of the Roman forum, a Punic residential quarter dating from the city’s final century of existence—more precisely, the early 2nd century BCE—has been unearthed. The settlement is typical and even stereotypical, with a room facing the street that could be used as a store, a cistern installed in the basement to collect water for domestic use, and a long corridor on the right-hand side leading to a courtyard with a well, around which a series of small rooms of varying numbers are arranged.A Punic residential quarter on Byrsa Hill in Carthage.
