Description

The profile represented is that of the divinity Tanit, protector of the city and symbol of fertility, recognizable by her headdress decorated with ears of wheat. This program celebrates the artistic refinement of Carthaginian civilization and its millennia-old economic power, recalling that Carthage was one of the first cities to master the minting of gold in the Mediterranean, thus forging a cultural and commercial identity of which modern Tunisia is the heir.
