Bellum Punicum exhibition at Cartagena, Spain

PUNIC WATCH: Roman Theatre of Cartagena hosts Bellum Punica until 15 November. Roman Theatre of Cartagena in Cartagena presents Bellum Punica until 15 November, with Francano's terracotta sculptures exploring the Second Punic War (Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS).

The Spanish city of Cartagena was an important player in the Second Punic War. It was founded by Hannibal Barca's brother-in-law, Hasdrubal the Fair. Hannibal commenced his march across the Alps from Cartagena.

Sorry to miss this exibition. I visited Cartagena in 2025 for its annual Festival of the Carthaginians and Romans. Subsequent posts on Cartagena's history and archaeology are collected here.
