Their astronomers mapped the stars, their physicians developed advanced medical practices, and their artisans crafted exquisite works of art. Their religious beliefs, centered around a pantheon of gods and goddesses, shaped their daily lives and inspired monumental temples and tombs.

The Maritime Power of Carthage
