<p>Carthage's rise, often eclipsed by its tragic fall during the
Punic Wars against Rome, unfolds as a tale of strategic brilliance and adaptability. Founded in modern-day
Tunisia, the city strategically positioned itself at the nexus of vital trade routes, blending resourcefulness with legend in its establishment. The decline of
Tyre provided
Carthage with a chance to assert regional dominance, evolving from a humble trade settlement to a powerful force challenging local rivals and Greek competitors. Carthage's governance, a sophisticated mix of oligarchy and local autonomy, fostered a unique political structure. Its diverse economy thrived on advanced agriculture and far-reaching trade networks, reaching West Africa and Persia.</p>
