Greeek philosophers praising Carthage should be taken with a pich of salt (no pun intended): such comparisons had an underlying reason, as most ancient writings did. For instance, Plato describing Atlantis as ideal and powerful is meant as a compliment for Athens. Praising Carthage as 'the best next to Sparta' is therefore immediately suspect - the two could not differ more!! Isocrates, an Athenean, wrote an oration for Archidamus, the prince of Sparta. In his In Panathenaicus, Isocrates has a Spartan student claim that the most intelligent of the Spartans admired and owned copies of some of Isocrates' speeches! 😁 That should tell us enough, and not take the admiration of Carthage very serious.

[@markholmphotography]

One of the big rituals/ ceremonies in the religion of Carthage was child sacrifice. Central to these ceremonies was the act of offering the child to the deities, primarily to Tanit, the chief goddess of Carthage often associated with fertility and the moon, and Ba'al Hammon, considered the chief god and often linked with the sun and sky. The term "Tophet," which refers to the sacred precincts where these rituals took place, is believed to have been derived from the Hebrew word for "fireplace" or "roasting place." This suggests the method of sacrifice: the children were likely burned as offerings.

[@piedpiper1172]

@@ElectronFieldPulse There are a large number of apparent still births and perinatal deaths in addition to infants of 2-4 months old. The current data simply cannot distinguish between two possibilities: 1) active sacrifice of otherwise healthy newborns + some sort of exception for still births and perinatal deaths we wouldn’t think of as sacrificed 2) a broader practice of believing all natural newborn and infant mortality (from stillbirth to early life illness etc) was somehow connected to this goddess-not unlike the modern practice of believing that people who die prematurely were “called to god/glory/etc.” Humans have a universal desire to find meaning, particularly in the face of the suffering unique to untimely death. Reframing all infant mortality as “sacrifices” to your favored deity is one possible way to find that sought-for meaning. Thus, scholars are unsure. Some believe it was all actively ritual sacrifice (this view is more common the older the academic work), some believe it was all or almost all essentially a cultural coping mechanism for infant mortality, and some believe it was some mix of the two, with some scholars placing active sacrifice anywhere from extremely rare to kinda common. Problem is we just cannot tell from the remains if a particular infant was, for example, born without kidneys (a defect that still occurs today) and destined to suffer a slow, agonizing end which was ritually shortened, or if it was entirely healthy but ritually prepared and sacrificed. The only accounts from the era we have are from outsiders-the same outsiders who mistook silver bullet ants for being made from solid gold.

If the Romans would have stopped swinging their big egos around for once (though im not saying others were without sin either), this world would be one heck of a brighter place. Rome was great in lots of ways and we have tons to thank it for, but it just couldnt restrain its desperate need to feel superior, especially when it came to tribal societies, let alone technological peers like Carthage. While not the only one to engage in such behavior, we let them get a pass for it too often in the west.

The salting of Carthage perfectly captures the cultural vibes of Rome at the time. If you could yoink Cato’s soul into the present and tell him, “hey bro, it’s super neat that you guys salted Carthage after obliterating it. It’s like, basically the only event ~90% of the world knows about Rome,” he would do what ever his equivalent of a dab was. It’s exactly the vibes they’d want us to imagine them with, the detail of if it actually involved dropping salt on soil doesn’t matter-it helps us connect with their lived emotional experience.

I guess that some small minorities from other places in the mediterranean and the middle east wouldnt make it that cosmopolitan would it?

[@piedpiper1172]

They were a major trade hub. It would be people from the entire Mediterranean, from Iberia to the Levant, and all between. Plus small stragglers from further afield that made it to the Mediterranean one way or another. A cosmopolitan population can still have a single majority or single group that makes up a near majority (~40%+; probs North Africans/modern Tunisians). It’s more about if you have several sub populations. One or two groups of ~20% ish (which here was probably people from the Levant), and then 1-2+ groups in the 0.5%-1%+ range. North Africa itself is super diverse, and has been as far back as we have ever managed to look. The entire Mediterranean was a huge population mixing super Highway. You’d find people as wide ranging as from sub-Saharan Africa to Germanic peoples and probably beyond.
