1 h, jan 1, 814 y BC - Founding of Carthage

Description:

While the Phoenicians had set up various colonies along the North coast of Africa, one particular port named Carthage was established in 814 BCE. This colony would grow to out-rival all other Phoenician settlements and become a major political civilization in the ancient Mediterranean.

It went on to set up it's own colonies and even control access & exit to the Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar.
