DVD Reviews of Lost Treasures of the Ancient World: Carthage - A Journey Back in Time
DVD Review: Carthage for Beginners
Summary: 3 Stars
It's often repeated that the Roman Empire was huge. However, historians and teachers then just focus on the City and don't discuss pre-colonial life. (A small exception is seen in Russell Crowe's "Gladiator" character being from Spain.) This documentary speaks of Carthage before and during the Roman conquest. Carthage is now what we call Tunisia.
This is a British documentary probably meant from British audiences. The scholars interviewed are not diverse. Many have teeth that could be featured in the Simpsons' "Big Book of British Smiles." The work has computer graphics and actors pretending to be ancient people.
The work goes into why Carthage was important, how it got its name, etc. Like much on Rome, they speak of gladiators, bath houses, and mosaics.
I wasn't glued to this documentary. However, I appreciated what I learned and thank the makers for putting it together.
