Ancient Village or Settlement in Tunisia
The remains of the ancient Punic city of Carthage is spread out over a half dozen sites among luxury villas in this wealthy subburb of modern Tunis.
While scant attention is paid to Saturn in the rest of the Roman empire, he has a high status in the North African colony as essentially a romanized ontinuation of Baal-Amon. The Tophet with the original Baal Amon Moloch, is about 1 KM away, but it is possible there may be punic remains under this temple. 47 meters altitude
