The city of Carthage was built in the 9th century BC when Queen Dido left Phoenicia (on the east coast of the Mediterranean) to the Tunisian region of Tunisia today. This empire became the center of power of the ancient world and once fought several battles against the mighty Roman army.

At its peak, Tophet grew larger than a football field and had nine burial floors.
