 Carthage
Carthage (from the Phoenician Qart-Hadasht "New City" (written without vowels as QRT HDŠT قرة -حدشة or קרת חדשת), was an ancient city in North Africa located on the eastern side of Lake Tunis, across from the center of modern Tunis in Tunisia.
The empire of Carthage depended heavily on its trade with Tartessos and other cities of the Iberian peninsula, from which it obtained vast quantities of silver and, even more importantly, tin ore, which was essential to the manufacture of bronze objects by the civilizations of antiquity.
In 698 the Exarchate of Africa was finally overrun by the rising forces of Islam, and Carthage itself was destroyed by the Arab invaders, to be replaced by Tunis as the major regional center.

 Carthage (general introduction)
After the fall of its mother-city Tyre in 575, Carthage became the leader of the Phoenician colonies in the west and founded an informal but powerful empire, which is known for its almost perennial struggle against the Greeks of Sicily and the Romans.
In the east and northeast, it bordered on the Greek possessions in the Cyrenaica and on Sicily; in the north, Carthage controlled the coasts of Sardinia and Corsica, and in the west, the ports of the Maghreb and Andalusia.
Carthage's most famous inhabitant in Late Antiquity was Augustine, who had a small school in Carthage (376-383) before he went to Italy and converted to Christianity.

 sociology - Carthage
Carthage (from the Phoenician Kart-Hadasht, the "New City", written without vowels in Punic as Qrthdst), was an ancient city in north Africa located on the eastern side of Lake Tunis, across from the center of modern Tunis in Tunisia.
Its heads of state are commonly referred to as "sufets" (literally, "judges"; Roman writers referred to them as "reges", kings), which might originally have been the title of the city's governor installed by the mother city of Tyre.
The political fallout from the deep disaffection of African Christians was a crucial factor in the ease with which Carthage and the other centres were captured in the 5th century by Gaiseric, king of the Vandals, who defeated the Byzantine general Bonifatius and made the city his capital.

 CHURCH FATHERS: Council of Carthage (A.D. 419)
In the year 418-19, all canons formerly made in sixteen councils held at Carthage, one at Milevis, one at Hippo, that were approved of, were read, and received a new sanction from a great number of bishops, then met in synod at Carthage.
I say, if it seems good, that not only should these not keep their dioceses, but that every effort should be made to have them expelled by public authority from that church of theirs which has evilly favoured them, and that they be removed even from the chief sees.
The bishop of Carthage was not included in this canon; for it is evident that he had a precedence annexed to his see, and that he was in reality a sort of patriarch.

 Eponymous Archons, Greek Dialects, and Syracuse
The other three were the Polemarch (polémarkhos, "war leader," the third archon), who was the commander-in-chief, the King (basileús, the second archon), who succeeded to the religious duties of the original Kings of Athens, and the Eponymous (epónymos) Archon, the first archon, after whom the year was named.
The closest to that were regal years of Kings, like the Kings of Egypt.

 Amazon.com: Pride of Carthage: Books: David Anthony Durham   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Pride of Carthage is at once a sweeping saga, an intimate portrait of an individual, a military history, and a tale about love, devotion, and loyalty.
The oft-referenced feline King of the Jungle is the heraldic symbol of the Barca family and is a strong metaphor for interactions of the members of the Barca bloodline.
Pride of Carthage is an ambitious work of fiction that at times plays loosely with historical fact if such a thing would benefit the story, something I think most readers of historical fiction appreciate.
