Question
This city housed up to 220 ships in a circular harbor complex called a cothon. This city’s highest authority was the Council of a Hundred and Four. This city’s walled citadel, the Byrsa, takes its name from the myth that it was mapped out using strips cut from an oxhide. Under Mago I, this city became increasingly independent from Tyre. Hasdrubal fought for this city during a conflict in which Scipio Africanus defeated their forces at the Battle of Zama. Ruins from this city, which was likely not salted after its destruction, are found across modern-day Tunis. For 10 points, what city fought Rome in the Second Punic War with armies led by Hannibal? ■END■
