Cisterns of Carthage: Remnants of a Mighty Ancient City (Carthage, Tunisia, c. 146 BCE) The haunting image of the subterranean cisterns of Carthage, a once-mighty city in modern-day Tunisia, stands as a testament to the rich historical legacy of the ancient Roman world. These impressive structures, now relics of a bygone era, were essential components of Carthage's intricate water supply system, enabling the city to thrive amidst the arid North African climate. Declared "Delenda est Carthago" (Carthage must be destroyed) by the Roman statesman Cato the Elder in 149 BCE, Carthage was eventually conquered in the Third Punic War (146 BCE). Despite Cato's decree, the city's impressive architectural feats have endured the test of time. The cisterns, carved into the soft limestone bedrock beneath the city, were designed to collect and store rainwater. Their intricate systems of interconnected pools and channels ensured a consistent water supply, making Carthage a formidable adversary for the Romans. As we gaze upon this evocative scene, we are transported back to a time when Carthage was a thriving metropolis, a center of commerce, culture, and military power. The cisterns, though silent and abandoned, continue to whisper tales of the ancient city's past glory. This photograph, taken in the 19th century, captures the essence of archaeological discovery and the awe-inspiring allure of the ancient world. The cisterns of Carthage serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of history and the fascination it holds for generations to come.
