Carthage was founded by Phoenician colonists from Tyre in 814 BC (see Dido for the foundation myths).
It became a major rival to the Roman Republic for the domination of the western Mediterranean in the 4th century B.C.E. A series of three conflicts known as the Punic Wars between the two started in the 3rd century BC and ended in Rome's favor and with Carthage destroyed.
The site was too well-chosen to waste, however, and a new city grew up there and became the second largest city in the western half of the Roman Empire and the metropolitan city of the Roman Province of Africa.
