One of the oldest cities in the Mediterranean, it was founded in legend by the Tyrian queen Dido and destroyed after epic wars with Rome. It was soon reborn as a Roman city and, late in antiquity, evolved into a centre for Christian worship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 17th and 18th centuries, when European explorers first arrived searching for the site of Carthage, they were amazed that almost nothing of its former glory remained and lamented its loss.
