Foreign Exhibition 

Carthago - The immortal myth

27 September 2019 – 29 March 2020 

Colosseum, Rome, Italy

Heritage Malta is participating in this exhibition in which visitors will embark on a journey starting from the foundation of the Phoenician East to the refounding of the new Colonia Iulia Concordia Carthago touching upon important events in the rise of Christianity, the new religion of which Carthage would become an important centre of diffusion. The goal of the exhibition is to help familiarize the public with the series of historical events that unite the two great powers of the ancient world, Carthage and Rome.

 This large-scale exhibition is displaying extraordinary objects, on loan from various international archaeological museums in Italy, Tunisia, Lebanon, Spain and Malta. Heritage Malta is lending the famous Punic bilingual Cippus and six Punic inscribed ceramic shards from the Tas-Silg Archaeological Sanctuary in Marsaxlokk.
