The Phoenicians.
Punicus was their word for Phoenicians - Carthage was originally a Phoenician colony.
If you mean who founded Carthage, it was established by the Phoenicians, a seafaring people from present day Lebanon.
The Phoenicians established the colony of Carthage, located in present-day Tunisia, to facilitate trade in the western Mediterranean. Founded around the 9th century BCE, Carthage became a major commercial hub, allowing the Phoenicians to expand their trading networks and influence across the region. This strategic location helped them control important trade routes and access valuable resources.
They were descended from Phoenicians from the Levant.
