Punic inscriptions

Punic inscriptions are writings from the ancient Carthaginian civilization, which thrived in North Africa and parts of the Mediterranean from the 9th century BCE until its fall in 146 BCE. The language used in these inscriptions, Punic, is a Semitic language derived from Phoenician. These inscriptions often appear on various objects, including stones, pottery, and coins, and provide valuable insights into the culture, religion, and daily life of the Carthaginians. They are significant for understanding the historical interactions between the Carthaginians and other ancient civilizations, including the Romans and Greeks.
