Rereading Punic Agriculture: Representation, Analogy and Ideology in the Classical Sources

Rural Landscapes of the Punic World - (Volume 11) - Peter van Dommelen

Véronique Krings

Description

The chapter discusses the texts and later writings that created the basis for the modern and ancient perceptions of Carthaginian agriculture and agronomy as prosperous and excellent. Moreover, a connection between these ideas and an ‘imperialist’ interpretation of Carthaginian colonialism is suggested. Thus, the chapter will scrutinise the available evidence in methodological terms and consider how it may be explored alternatively.
