The Punics & the Ancient Forum of Severus' Bascilica

  • In between the 1st and 3rd centuries A.D., the rich Roman province Tripolitania was comprised of three coastal cities named Sabrata, Leptis Magna and Oea, better known as Tripoli. Thanks to advanced digital reconstruction, we will see the Forum off Leptis Magna come to life again. The Forum was already famous in ancient times for the Severus' Bascilica, one of the largest buildings ever erected.
    The Punics (from Latin pūnicus, pl. pūnici) were a group of western Semitic-speaking peoples from Carthage in North Africa who traced their origins to a group of Phoenician settlers, but also to North African Berbers. Unlike other Phoenicians, Punics had a landowning aristocracy who established a rule of the hinterland in Northern Africa and trans-Sahara traderoutes. In later times one of these clans conquered a Hellenistic-inspired empire in Iberia, possibly having a foothold in western Gaul. Like other Phoenician people their urbanized culture and economy was strongly linked to the sea. Overseas they established control over some coastal regions of Berber North Africa like modern-day Tunisia and Tripolitania (modern-day Libya), Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, the Balearics, Malta, other small islands of the western Mediterranean and possibly along the Atlantic coast of Iberia, although this is disputed. In the Baleares, Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily they had strong economic and political ties to the independent natives in the hinterland. Their naval presence and trade extended throughout the Mediterranean to the British Isles, the Canaries, and West Africa. Famous technical achievements of the Punic people of Carthage include the development of uncolored glass and the use of lacustrine limestone to improve the purity of molten iron.
    Most of the Punic culture was destroyed as a result of the Punic Wars fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 to 146 BC, while traces of language, religion and technology could still be found in Africa during the early Christianisation, 325 to 650 AD. After the Punic Wars, Romans used the term Punic as an adjective meaning treacherous.
    In archaeological and linguistic usage Punic refers to a Hellenistic and later-era culture and dialect from Carthage that had developed into a distinct form from the Phoenician of the mother city of Tyre. Phoenicians also settled in Northwest Africa (the Maghreb) and other areas under Carthaginian rule and their culture and political organisation were a distinct form. Remains of the Punic culture can be found in settlements from the Iberian Peninsula in the West to Cyprus in the East.

    Those mighty Phoenicians ! I can’t believe that our European and American primary and secondary schools never taught us anything about these brilliant and sophisticated civilizations that are ancestors of our modern civilization starting with their genius Alphabet. Hannibal was a descendant of the Phoenicians as they were the ancestors of the Carthaginians. What about Europe, our continent ? Where was princess Europa born? In the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre in what is today Lebanon. Never learned anything about the Phoenicians in Norway, but I’ve actually been in Tyre about nine years ago when I was learning Arabic at the American University of Beirut. I loved Lebanon, a gorgeous country that the U.S and Israel are bent on breaking because they managed to break 20 years of brutal Israeli occupation of south Lebanon. A true tragedy.

    To maybe suggest some Imperial Roman bloodlines to first century Christianity . . .
    Melito of Sardis seemed to have the ear of Marcus Aurelius(whom most people like to consider as intellectual as Cicero) and Antoninus Caesar. Antoninus is father of Marcus. Antoninus Pius(Caesar) predecessor was Hadrian(mentioned above). Hadrian was the last Roman to sack Jerusalem in 125 A.D. Antoninus Pius further was the son of a Titus Aurelius Fulvius. Titus and his father Vespasian will be mentioned again further down. Melito of Sardis also mentions sungods - ""that this was the first-born of God, who was begotten before the sun."

      But the Phoenicians ( los fenicios) aren’t Greek, they are from what is today Lebanon ( el Líbano), the land that gave us the Alphabet and the place where Europa was born . She was born in the ancient city of Tyre, the mighty Mediterranean Phoenician city that set its people to navigate the Mediterranean and they founded Carthage in Tunisia, Cádiz, Málaga, Alicante, Barcelona, Mallorca, Murcia, Almería, Menorca, Ibiza, Malta, Cyprus, Cagliari in Sardinia, Palermo, Motya in Sicily, Genoa, Chiavari in Liguria ( Italy) Antibes in France and many port cities in Portugal, Turkey and Crete.. The Phoenicians and their civilization were absolutely impressive and they founded half of our Mediterranean cities .
