UNESCO lists the Archaeological Site of Carthage, the city of the received command

Read the full account

In 1979 UNESCO inscribed Carthage. The listing is a completed conservation-access act. He did not file 1979. Access to the Punic city’s remains is the path.

Context

Tourism and later Roman overlay fight on the same hill.

Hannibal is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

A 1979 polygon is not a 216 BCE camp.

What the sources establish

Not established: a unique Factrail-original body count, or a recovered 216 BCE civil-registry file.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
