Carthage at the beginning of the 2nd century BC. The reconstruction, made from the lower part of the gulf, shows the city located in the south-east of the peninsula, the Byrsa hill and the two harbours. The cemeteries are spread out on the north side in an arc around the central hills. Beyond the range of hills lies the rural area of Megara, a suburb of Carthage. The city is protected by sea walls along the coast next to a reinforced outpost; the docks and the inner wall block the isthmus linking the peninsula to the mainland.
