Palaeo

TIME : 2016/2/16 18:28:52

The small Palaeo-Christian Museum has good displays on the Punic ports and excavation methods. First-century AD buckles, forceps and needles are among its relics. There's a particularly fine 5th-century marble of Ganymede and the Eagle.

The museum grounds include ruins of the city's most important Byzantine church, the 6th-century Basilica of Carthagenna. It was huge: 36.35m by 25.5m, with a 14 sq m basilica, three naves and western and eastern apses.
