General view of the port entrance of the Punic harbour Carthage, Tunisia, pictured on January 29, 2008, in the afternoon. Carthage was founded in 814 BC by the Phoenicians who fought three Punic Wars against the Romans over this immensely important Mediterranean harbour. The Romans finally conquered the city in 146 BC. Subsequently it was conquered by the Vandals and the Byzantine Empire. Today the site is a UNESCO World Heritage. The enormous circular harbour, known as Kothon, had 140 docks around the perimeter, providing landing places for up to 350 ships at the height of the Punic Era. These docks where extremely productive, making it the most powerful Mediterranean fleet. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
