Chambered Tomb in Tunisia

Punic Utica survived Roman conquest and by siding against Carthage, it's long time rival. Utica had been a Phoenician Colony about 2-300 years longer than carthage.

Due to creeping romanization, the original punic remains are about 2 meters beneath the Roman level.
There are several Punic sarcophogi and some Punic wall.
