Vincent Poon :: Carthage
 
Carthage was the centre of the Carthaginian civilization founded by the Phoenicians in 8th century BC. After 3 Punic Wars, Carthage was finally destroyed and occupied by the Romans. Nowadays it is not hard to find these Roman ruins around the place. In fact there were so many which we could only afford to see a selective few, and amongst them the Antonine Baths was definitely the best!

In the garden there is also a fountain
