published on 28 April 2011. According to legend, Carthage was founded by the Phoenician Queen Elissa (better known as Dido) sometime around 813 BCE. The city (in modern-day Tunisia, North Africa) was originally known as Kart-hadasht (new city) to distinguish it from the older Phoenician city of Utica nearby.
The name Carthage /ËkarÎ¸ÉªdÊ/ is the Early Modern anglicisation of French Carthage /kaÊ.taÊ/, from Latin CarthÄgÅ, derived via Greek KarkhÄdÅn (ÎºÎ±ÏÏÎ·Î´ÏÎ½) and Etruscan *CarÎ¸aza, from the Punic qrt-á¸¥dÅ¡t (ð¤ð¤ð¤ ð¤ð¤ð¤ð¤) new city, implying it was a new Tyre.
