CHAPTER

Traveling the Punic Mediterranean

We start in Gaudier, a colony of Tyre and one of the major nodes in this Mediterranean-wide network. By the late 6th century BC, the time of our journey that linked between Tyre and its former colonies was beginning to fracture. We go north along the Mediterranean coast of Iberia, pass the city of New Carthage, and then go east into the open sea for a couple of days. Our last stop in the Phoenician-dominated west is the island of Sardinia. It has been a center of metal exports, specifically copper, since the middle years of the Bronze Age.
