Bought these 2 items on eBay and Künker auctions: a Tunisia banknote showing general Hannibal Barkas (247-183 BC) with behind him the harbour build in a circle with boathouses for the Carthagian warships.(Next to it was another harbour for the commercial trade ships) on the backside 3 Carthago ships. a copper coin with Tanit and a horse and palmtree from Hannibal's period:
That is a GREAT note depicting the rebuilding of the Carthage Harbor! I think their building those Naval and Commercial harbors were one of the things that freaked the Romans out, precipitating later into the 3rd Punic War.
