Further down today's Tunisian coast is the modern city of Sousse. Somewhere under this city are buried the ruins of the once prosperous Punic port of Hadrumet . Second only to Carthage in trade, Hadrumet grew quickly thanks to its excellent natural harbor. It was to Hadrumet that Hannibal retreated after his defeat by Rome in the Second Punic War. And whatever survived was pulled town in the 3rd century AD when the city rebelled.
Nothing remains of the original settlements.
