Carthage was in modern day Tunisia. She had territories in western Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and the Balearic Islands. Carthage also had colonies (settlements) in North Africa, from western Libya to northern Morocco, and in southern Spain. The Carthaginian Empire was primarily a trading empire which was centred on the tin and silver mines of southern Spain. Carthage sold the tin and silver to the Greeks and the Phoenicians (who lived in present day Lebanon) in the eastern Mediterranean and imported quality manufactures from this area. She also sold locally made lowed quality manufactures in the western Mediterranean; to her colonies, other Phoenician colonies and the local peoples.
Carthage was a Phoenician city founded by political refugees from Tyre, the main Phoenician city.
