Best Answer

There is not much of a "Carthaginian" Carthage legacy. Carthage was destroyed in 146 BC by the Romans in the Third Punic War. it was rebuilt 150-200 years later as a Roman town and became the second largest Roman city in the western part of the Roman Empire and one of the seven largest ones in the whole empire. There is a legacy of Roman Carthage and the Roman province of Africa (today's Tunisia, western Libya and part of eastern Algeria). This was the area where Latin of western Christianity originated. This became the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire, while the main one in the eastern part was Greek or Eastern Christianity. Later these two churches came to be called Catholic and Orthodox respectively.
