Talk:Ancient Carthage

message: Perhaps the map could show the actual location of Carthage?  I suspect the map creator was operating with the ingrained knowledge of where the city was, but if everyone else also already knew where Carthage was, maybe they wouldn't be looking at an article on Carthage and looking at a map. --Kurt (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 13:41, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: SilkTork Does that mean it show the same in your computer, or is mines just malfunctioning? (N0n3up (talk) 02:03, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The fault is in Template:Infobox former country, which is the template for the infobox. It's not a fault in the article, so nobody reading this article will be able to fix it. I don't understand template code, so I can't fix it. You would need to ask on the talkpage: Template talk:Infobox former country. The fault is probably as a result of this edit.

replies: text: OK. I had a close look at the code, and worked out the problem, and that appears to have fixed it. SilkTork ✔Tea time 16:51, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article fix 

message: In the middle of this page discussing the coins of ancient Syria, Head has a passage stating 
Obviously, the Hebrew is just a kludge from the print age for dealing with the lack of Phoenician-alphabet dies, but any idea why Sidon is claiming to be the metropolis for Carthage? Some special cult that involved annual tributes? Delusions of grandeur? 
Also, I've never heard of Carthage being called anything like "Cambe". Is it an alternate name? — LlywelynII 12:18, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

message: The map of the Carthaginian empire in 264 BC shows Corsica as part of the realm, which it wasn't. Is it possible to correct this, or is it easier to replace with a different iamge? Furius (talk) 12:26, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, in 264 BC, it shouldn't show them holding territory in Spain, either... Furius (talk) 12:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

message: Perhaps someone knowledgeable in the field would be good enough to rewrite the following paragraph - perhaps splitting it into more than one paragraph as it seems to treat more than one topic?
It is the last paragraph under the "Power and Organisation" subheading just before "Citizenship". It seems to have been written by someone who does not have perfect mastery of English. I cite it below in full, underlining the questionable sections. In my view it is too replete with errors and irregularaities of English usage (which impede clarity quite significantly) to make it worth offering linguistic corrections. There is also a lack  
"Traders of Carthage were secretive in ways to keep trade routes from the Greeks. Most conflicts from Carthage lasted from 600 BC to 500 BC with Greece and its trade routes. Greek goods were no match to Carthage goods and their goal was to export to African harbors while keeping Greek goods out. The people of Carthage spoke Punic, which had its own alphabet and would later continue through trade routes and grow into Africa. Carthage was also highly influenced by Egyptian culture. Amulets and seals coming from those of Egyptian religion were found about Carthage as well as the use of scarabs. These scarabs, in Egyptian culture, were for funerals and to expose them to the afterlife. Finding these and many pictures carved into clay, stone and other specimens was a big connection between Egypt's ties to Carthage." 2A00:23C7:1A24:5D01:5445:9568:4C23:DA14 (talk) 18:47, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

message: Founded by the Phoenicians in the ninth century BC, Carthage reached its height in the fourth century BC. Was it Founded later and reached its height before. What's the context here did not get this one. 2405:6E00:291:E04B:19F4:31FD:5EA:32B8 (talk) 09:26, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

message: The lead still confuses the empire and the city and switches between the two, despite all the previous discussions. It also does not explain the difference from Punic people. Rjdeadly (talk) 09:25, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
