00:00A long time ago, Carthage was one of the richest cities near the Mediterranean Sea.
00:06It had a huge port where ships came to buy and sell goods.
00:11At first, Carthage traded peacefully with the Greeks, Romans, and other nearby people.
00:16But because it had so much money and such a great location, other countries started to get jealous.
00:24It's kind of like being the kid on the playground with all the best toys.
00:28Sooner or later, someone's going to try to take them.
00:31Today, you can still see the old ruins of Carthage, about ten miles outside the city of Tunis.
