Mosaic from the Temple of Astarte, Carthage.

On this day in 202 b.c., the Romans conquered Carthage.
On this day in a.d. 439, the Vandals conquered Carthage from the Romans.

A bad pun is always worth repeating, so I am re-submitting my bad pun (paraphrased from the original due to my poor memory – the original was better) from days ago which didn’t get posted.
“Carthage’s big mouth has been known to create a gulf between itself and its neighbors who have become annoyed with its constant baying.”
Please don’t delete me this time Dr. Boli.
