description |
this phoenician city was probably abandoned during the first punic war (c. 250 b.c.) and as a result was not rebuilt by the romans. the remains constitute the only example of a phoenicio-punic city to have survived. the houses were built to a standard plan in accordance with a sophisticated notion of town planning. |
