  • Carthage Was Indeed Destroyed
    1 Carthage was indeed destroyed Introduction to Carthage According to classical texts (Polybe 27) Carthage’s history started with the Phoenician queen Elissa who was ousted from power in Tyre and in 814 BC settled with her supporters in what is now known as Carthage. There might have been conflicts with the local population and the local Berber kings, but the power of the Phoenician settlement Carthage kept growing. The Phoenicians based in the coastal cities of Lebanon constituted in the Mediterranean Sea a large maritime trade power but Carthage gradually became the hub for all East Mediterranean trade by the end of the 6th century BC. Thus Carthage evolved from being a Phoenician settlement to becoming the capital of an empire (Fantar, M.H., 1998, chapter 3). The local and the Phoenician religions mixed (e.g. Tanit and Baal) and in brief Carthage developed from its establishment in roughly 800 BC and already from 6th century BC had become the centre for a large empire of colonies across Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Spain, and the islands of Mallorca, Sardinia, and Sicily (Heimburger, 2008 p.36). Illustration: The empire of Carthage prior to the 1st Punic war in 264 BC, encyclo.voila.fr/wiki/Ports_puniques_de_Carthage 2010 Following two lost wars with the rising Rome (264-241 BC and 218-201 BC) Carthage was deprived of its right to engage in wars but experienced a very prosperous period as a commercial power until Rome besieged the city in 149 BC and in 146 BC destroyed it completely 25 years later Rome decided to rebuild the city but not until 43 BC was Carthage reconstructed as the centre for Rome’s African Province.

  • The Relationship Between the Church and the Roman Empire
    The Relationship Between the Church and the Roman empire: From Persecution to the State Religion Sagar Mani Neupane Supervisor [Associate Professor John Wayne Kaufman] MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion, and Society, AVH 5080: Thesis for Master’s in History of Religions (60 ECTS), Spring 2019 Word count: [33864] 1 Acknowledgment I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, John Wayne Kaufman, an associate professor at the MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion and Society for his valuable supervision, constructive feedback and suggestions which helped me to create the final shape of this research. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank all the professors and staff members at the MF for the encouragement and enriching knowledge throughout my studies. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to all the friends who helped me to proofread my thesis and improve its quality through their active support and participation. I want to devote this thesis to my supervisor. Oslo, Norway, May 2019 2 Abstract This study has explored the changed relationship between the church and the Roman Empire between the second and the fourth century as presented in the books Apology by Tertullian and The Death of the Persecutors by Lactantius and Life of Constantine by Eusebius. Tertullian presents the adverse condition of the church-state relationship at the end of the second century. He shows the vulnerable situation of the church and the church practitioners under the Pagan emperors. The Apology shows the persecution and its nature Christian had to face. On the other hand, The Death of the persecutors represents the time at the end of the third century when Christianity encountered The Great Persecution.

  • THE TOPOGRAPHY of ARCHAIC CARTHAGE Preliminary Results of Recent Excavations 1 and Some Prospects
    TALANTA XXXIV-XXXV (2002-2003) THE TOPOGRAPHY OF ARCHAIC CARTHAGE Preliminary results of recent excavations 1 and some prospects Roald F. Docter Four times a metropolis Carthage may rightly be reckoned among the metropoleis of antiquity, on a level with Athens, Rome, Alexandria and Constantinople/Byzantium. From its legendary foundation by princess Elissa/Dido in 814-813 BC onwards, Carthage developed to be the most important Punic city in the West. After its destruction by the Romans in 146 BC, at the end of the Third Punic War, the urban area remained barren for about 100 years. The Roman re-foundation from 44 or 29 BC, the Colonia Iulia Concordia Carthago , became the capi - tal of the province of Africa Nova . Especially during the Late Antonine peri - od and under the ‘African’ Severian emperors, Roman Carthage witnessed an unprecedented prosperity. Its conquest by the Vandal king Geisericus in AD 439 at once made Carthage the capital of the Vandal kingdom, from which Sicily and Rome were looted in AD 440 and 455 respectively. The re-con - quest of the city by the Byzantine general Belisarios in AD 534 brought pros - perity and growth back again. Under the name of Carthago Iustiniana , emperor Iustinianus I made the city the seat of public and military adminis - tration of the Prefecture Africa. Carthage played a prominent part also reli - giously, inspiring recently a researcher to apply the epithet ‘Christian metropolis’ to it (Ennabli 1997). In AD 695, the Arabs, led by Hassen Ibn Noôman, conquered Carthage, to destroy it three years later in retaliation of a rebellion.

  • The Mini-Columbarium in Carthage's Yasmina
    THE MINI-COLUMBARIUM IN CARTHAGE’S YASMINA CEMETERY by CAITLIN CHIEN CLERKIN (Under the Direction of N. J. Norman) ABSTRACT The Mini-Columbarium in Carthage’s Roman-era Yasmina cemetery combines regional construction methods with a Roman architectural form to express the privileged status of its wealthy interred; this combination deploys monumental architectural language on a small scale. This late second or early third century C.E. tomb uses the very North African method of vaulting tubes, in development in this period, for an aggrandizing vaulted ceiling in a collective tomb type derived from the environs of Rome, the columbarium. The use of the columbarium type signals its patrons’ engagement with Roman mortuary trends—and so, with culture of the center of imperial power— to a viewer and imparts a sense of group membership to both interred and visitor. The type also, characteristically, provides an interior space for funerary ritual and commemoration, which both sets the Mini-Columbarium apart at Yasmina and facilitates normative Roman North African funerary ritual practice, albeit in a communal context. INDEX WORDS: Funerary monument(s), Funerary architecture, Mortuary architecture, Construction, Vaulting, Vaulting tubes, Funerary ritual, Funerary commemoration, Carthage, Roman, Roman North Africa, North Africa, Columbarium, Collective burial, Social identity.

  • Carthage Was the Center Or Capital City of the Ancient Carthaginian
    Carthage was the center or capital city of the ancient Carthaginian civilization, on the eastern side of the Lake of Tunis in what is now the Tunis Governorate in Tunisia. Carthage was widely considered the most important trading hub of the Ancient Mediterranean and was arguably one of the most affluent cities of the Ancient World. The city developed from a Phoenician colony into the capital of a Punic empire which dominated large parts of the Southwest Mediterranean during the first millennium BC. The legendary Queen Dido is regarded as the founder of the city, though her historicity has been questioned. The ancient Carthage city was destroyed by the Roman Republic in the Third Punic War in 146 BC and then re-developed as Roman Carthage, which became the major city of the Roman Empire in the province of Africa. The city was sacked and destroyed by Umayyad forces after the Battle of Carthage in 698 to prevent it from being reconquered by the Byzantine Empire. It remained occupied during the Muslim period and was used as a fort by the Muslims until the Hafsid period when it was taken by the Crusaders with its inhabitants massacred during the Eighth Crusade. Catheral of St. Vincent de Paul: is a Roman Catholic church located in Tunis, Tunisia. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul, patron saint of charity. It is the episcopal see of the Archdiocese of Tunis and is situated at Place de l'Indépendence in Ville Nouvelle, a crossroads between Avenue Habib Bourguiba and Avenue de France, opposite the French embassy.

  • From Infant Sacrifice to the Abc's: Ancient Phoenicians
    FROM INFANT SACRIFICE TO THE ABC’S: ANCIENT PHOENICIANS AND MODERN IDENTITIES Brien K. Garnand PLEASE DO NOT CITE ANY CONTEXT WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR 2 Brien Garnand, Committee on the Ancient Mediterranean World, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637 3 I was shocked to learn that Phoenicians were possibly sacrificing young children at the Carthage Tophet. The idea is horrifying. I always thought that the Phoenicians were a civilized race. P.D. Roberts (2001) Forum, Archaeology Odyssey 4(3):10-11 FROM INFANT SACRIFICE TO THE ABC’S1 The Phoenicians showed extraordinary acumen in commerce and communications, colonizing the Western Mediterranean ahead of the Greeks and disseminating their most important invention — alphabetic script. At the same time, they earned a reputation for piracy and deceit, and showed extraordinary depravity in practicing infant sacrifice and ritual prostitution, according to the Classical and Biblical sources. Depraved civilizer, or civilized depraver — the Phoenician presented something of a paradox. During the nineteenth century, and through much of the twentieth, European artists, writers, and scholars solved this paradox by erasing the civilizer, downplaying the significance of the Phoenician development of the alphabet, and leaving only the depraved and exotic Oriental. Formed in an environment of racism, imperialism, and nationalism, the influence of such interpretations of the Phoenicians has now faded, to be superseded by ‘post’ interpretations — post-modern, post-colonial, post-structural. But recently certain scholars have abandoned the conventional infant sacrifice paradigm in favor of a narrative that emphasizes the Phoenicians’ contributions to civilization while expunging their rites of infant sacrifice. The year 1987 was a defining moment for both professional and popular acceptance of this revised narrative.

  • The Two Mauretaniae: Their Romanization and The
    THE TWO MAURETANIAE: THEIR ROMANIZATION AND THE IMPERIAL CULT by CLAUDIA GIRONI submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject ANCIENT HISTORY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR : PROF. U.R.D. VOGEL JOINT SUPERVISOR : DR M. KLEIJWEGT Date submitted November 1996 SUMMARY The 'Romanization' of the African provinces of Mauretania Tingitana and Mauretania Caesariensis was in fact a two-way process of exchange between Roman and African elements which resulted in a uniquely Romano-African civilization. The imperial cult highlights issues common to all Romanization processes, such as ruler-subject interaction and the role of local initiative in bringing about change, as well as unique issues such as the impact of politics on emperor-worship. The success of the imperial cult was hampered by the fact that only a select few - notably the wealthy local elite - derived direct benefit from the process, and by the fact that, because the pre-Roman Mauretaniae had no established ruler-cults, the imperial cult failed to assimilate with local tradition. As a result, the cult was unable either to make a decisive impact on the Romanization of the Mauretanians, or to achieve any real religious unity among them. KEY TERMS Romanization; Imperial cult; North African history; Roman empire; Mauretania Tingitana; Mauretania Caesariensis; Mauri; Religious syncretism; Roman gods; Roman priests; African religion, ancient. DECLARATION I declare that "The two Mauretaniae : their Romanization and the imperial cult" is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references.

  • Roman Era Carthage and Lepcis Magna a Comparative Study of the Romanization and The
    Roman era Carthage and Lepcis Magna a comparative study of the Romanization and the Libyphoenician survival of the two leading cities of Africa Proconsularis Andreas Lagaard, Historisk Institutt, UiO, HIS4090 Vår 2008 1 Preface: This thesis started off as an interest in the Phoenicians sparked off by Maria Eugenia Aubet's The Phoenicians and the West and especially her mention of the lost literary heritage from these peoples which intrigued me to no end. So when I had to choose a subject fro my work I was really interested in doing a piece on them and their lost history. However there were no thesis councilors available for that time period and I had to move my chosen period into the realm of Antiquity when the Phoenician homelands were reaching their historical dusk so to speak. I vacillated in the beginning between doing a study on the Alexandrian siege of Tyre with possible comparative avenues of research pertaining to the previous sieges/attacks on the island city state and a study on the Western Phoenicians and their zone of influence. As Jon Iddeng, my future thesis councilor to be, was an expert in Latin Literature and the Romans in general I chose to follow a path of study detailing their archenemies the Punic peoples. At first I in my naivety thought that the whole Punic realm of the Western Mediterranean would be a fitting subject for study. I quickly realized the vast magnitude of such an undertaking and scaled down my subject to first just the Punic peoples in Africa and then later to just the populations of Punic Africa's heartlands in Tunisia and Libya.

  • Gazetteer of Stone Quarries in the Roman World
    Gazetteer of Stone Quarries in the Roman World Version 1.0 (2013) Hosted by the Oxford Roman Economy Project: www.romaneconomy.ox.ac.uk Ben Russell ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The following gazetteer of quarrying sites includes all those quarries at which activity in the Roman period is proven or suspected; where the chronology is not clear this fact is noted in the description. Such a catalogue is clearly far from exhaustive. It does not include, for example, any newly identified quarries published in the most recent ASMOSIA volume, though it does include references in this volume to quarries already incorporated into the gazetteer are noted.1 In practice, every urban centre in the Roman Empire, in addition to many rural sites, had one or more local quarries from which they extracted the bulk of their stone. The majority of these local quarries, however, are unexplored and unpublished. There must be hundreds if not thousands of other quarries that have yet to be documented. The aim of this catalogue, therefore, is to draw attention to those quarries that are known about. It is not a complete record but it is hoped that it might form the basis for future research. In this sense it is intended to build on and update some of the existing broader surveys of Roman quarrying, like those produced by Dworakowska and Braemer.2 Where possible the sites are quarries that have been identified as ‘Roman’. In some cases, however, it has been necessary to include sites at which stone was obviously quarried in the Roman period even if no traces of this activity survive.
