Roman Carthage

a reappraisal

Carlsen, Jesper (ed.)
Lund, John (ed.)

"The papers in the present volume originate from the international conference “Roman Carthage: A Reappraisal” held at the Danish Institute in Rome, 18-20th of January 2022. The overriding aim of the conference was to take stock of our current knowledge of Roman Carthage with a view to identifying future directions. The UNESCO-project ‘Pour sauver Carthage’, which was launched in 1972, comprised excavations by both Tunisian and international teams, of which some have only been published relatively recently.1 Since then, our knowledge of Roman Carthage has increased through new fieldwork and insights. It was our ambition to bring scholars from Tunisia as well as from countries that were part of the UNESCO-project together to discuss different aspects of Roman Carthage, and in this we succeeded."
