The role of the Phoenicians in the economy, culture and politics of
the ancient Mediterranean was as large as that of the Greeks and
Romans, and deeply interconnected with that 'Classical' world, but
their lack of literature and their Oriental associations mean that
they are much less well-known. This book brings the state of the
art in international scholarship on Phoenician and Punic studies to
an English-speaking audience, collecting new papers from fifteen
leading voices in the field from Europe and North Africa, with a
bias towards the younger generation. Focusing on a series of
case-studies from the colonial world of the western Mediterranean,
it is the first volume in any language to address the questions of
what 'Phoenician' and 'Punic' actually mean, how 'Punic' or western
Phoenician identity has been constructed by ancients and moderns,
the coherency of Punic culture, and whether there was in fact a
'Punic world'.
