Summary
The conflict between Carthage and Rome represents one of ancient history's most dramatic rivalries and the destruction of Carthage marked a turning point in Mediterranean history. Rome's victory eliminated its greatest rival and paved the way for dominance across the Mediterranean world. In Roman hands North Africa became one of the richest provinces of the entire Empire and the remains of magnificent public buildings and super mosaics still testify to that wealth. Travelling through the very landscapes where this epic struggle unfolded, we uncover the drama of the conflict and explore some spectacular Roman remains.
This tour is designed for those who want the expert guidance from an Andante Guide Lecturer, a carefully curated itinerary and easy access to the sites but with free time to explore, revisit sites and make your own discoveries.
