#CeJourLà Le 10 Mars 241 av. J.-C. (date supposée) : fin de la première guerre punique.
La victoire de Rome est décisive sur Carthage à la bataille des Îles Égades. Rome ratifie la paix. Mais, en fait, celle de 241 n’est qu’une trêve. Les hostilités finiront par reprendre.
Tunisia has some of the oldest coins in Africa.
These coins were struck during the First Punic War with Rome (264-241 BC). Initial issues of the war were struck in relatively pure gold.
Starting in 264 BC, Carthage (present day Tunisia) and Rome fought 3 wars.

Cependant qu’Antiochos, longeant la côte nord africaine depuis la Cyrénaïque à la tête de 75.000 fantassins dont 40.000 hoplites, 12.000 cavaliers et 200 éléphants, envahit le territoire de Carthage par le sud.

Ancient name of Africa
#Thread
The ancient name of Africa was Alkebulan. Alkebu-lan “mother of mankind” or “garden of Eden”.” Alkebulan is the oldest and the only word of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors,Nubians, Numidians,Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians) and Ethiopians.
@thegnarlyghost If you want to read an antiquity heist, may I suggest "Les Voleurs de Carthage" ?
No turtle, sadly.
Did you know?

In such a night
Stood Dido with a willow in her hand
Upon the wild sea banks, and waft her love
To come again to Carthage. #ShakespeareSunday
finally got Battle for Carthage working again... a game so evil that even the save icons are seeping with malevolence
"This day- unless they yield,
accept our rule, submit to us-
I shall annihilate that city"

(foreshadowing the Punic Wars
between Rome & Carthage)

Hellenistic North Africa was a economic powerhouse with a more suitable climate than today. After Carthage’s demise, the Berber Kingdom of Numidia prospered, many of its rulers, such as its 1st king Massinissa (~238-148 BC), being great patrons of the arts, learning, & libraries
Rome could not have been Rome without North Africa
From the imperial ambitions jumpstarted from wars with powerful Carthage, to the wealth and prosperity of the North African provinces that stabilized the Roman economy
Even some of Rome’s emperors were African
