Da Elissa ad Annibale, tra Tiro e Cartagine: sei secoli di connessioni mediterranee tra Oriente e Occidente

In this paper we examine the connections between the Levant and the West following the two most representative actors of the birth and development of Carthage as a daughter of the mother-city Tyre. Ideally retracing the footsteps of Elyssa and Hannibal, in the large period of a rapid metropolitan growth, we want to point out some interesting aspects related to historical, epigraphical and archaeological data on kinship and the strong link between Carthage and Tyre over a long period of Phoenician and Punic interconnections.
