The story
The New City That Would Not Stay Buried
II
The century of silence
For a hundred years after 146 BCE the hill stood empty. Roman surveyors eventually returned with ropes and stakes, and drew a new grid over the old one.
III
What refused to stay buried
Punic foundations still run beneath Roman floors. Dig anywhere on Byrsa hill and two cities answer at once, one built out of the ruins of the other.
