332 TN - Punic Town of Kerkuane and its Necropolis (1985)

Brief Description

"This Phoenician city was probably abandoned during the First Punic War (c. 250 B.C.) and as a result was not rebuilt by the Romans. The remains constitute the only example of a Phoenicio-Punic city to have survived. The houses were built to a standard plan in accordance with a sophisticated notion of town planning."

科克瓦尼布尼城及其陵园

"这座腓尼基城市大约在第一次布尼战争(约公元前250年)期间被废弃,此后罗马人也没有重建这座城市。因此它作为唯一的腓尼基迦太基城市遗址得以保存。其房屋设计构造与复杂缜密的城镇规划标准相符合。"
