Carthaginian necropolis
A Carthaginian necropolis is an ancient burial site associated with the city of Carthage, located in modern-day Tunisia. These necropolises contain tombs and funerary structures built by the Carthaginians, a civilization of ancient North Africa known for their maritime trade and conflicts with Rome. The tombs often feature elaborate architecture and inscriptions, reflecting the cultural and religious practices of the Carthaginians. These sites provide valuable insights into their beliefs about the afterlife, social hierarchy, and artistic expression, making them important archaeological resources for understanding ancient Phoenician-influenced societies.
