It was a group of independent Semitic city-states in modern day Lebanon, western Syria and northern Palestine plus Carthage in Tunisia, and have been replaced today by those countries. The Phoenicians were very successful sea traders in the first century BCE, going a far as Britain where they brought tin back to use and sell as a component of bronze.

They were absorbed into the Persian Empire and eventually the Roman Empire.
