Ruins of Roman baths in Carthage. From Hammamet to Carthage (The Baths of Antony Pius) Baths of Anthony

Carthage

It would be strange if Carthage were not included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. It would be no less strange if we ignored such a landmark. Of course, we headed there right after the Bardo Museum.

Carthage is called Carthage in French. It is located 20 km northeast of the capital, and there are numerous signs leading to it. It's almost impossible to get lost! We are entering the famous suburb of Tunisia.

Today's Carthage demonstrates to the average tourist three cultural layers: the very modest remains of a Phoenician city on the hill of Birsa, numerous ruins of ancient Roman buildings and the modern aristocratic suburb of Tunisia with the presidential palace.

From school we know that Carthage must be destroyed - at least, that’s what the Romans thought. And they destroyed it! To remember the other milestones of its history, I will give a brief historical background:

Remember how Milady Terekhova in “The Three Musketeers” calls out to the fanatic Felton?

It was to the god Baal that the Carthaginians offered a terrible sacrifice - the first-born in the family...

However, when recounting such terrible details, one must always keep in mind the source of this information. And history, as we know, is written by the winner, who always finds it more profitable to present the vanquished in a blacker color than he actually was. Let the descendants think: it serves him right! Having learned about the human sacrifices of the Carthaginians, one just wants to exclaim: what a blessing that the noble Romans won a victory over such a vile rival, where they did not hesitate to kill a defenseless baby in the name of a formidable deity!

And after shouting to our heart's content, we'll think about it. Carthage was the most powerful state in the Mediterranean. His army and navy were so strong that Rome seriously feared for its future. Phoenician sailors were the first to circumnavigate Africa. Phoenician scientists came up with the letter on the basis of which the alphabet of all modern European peoples was created.

Could a people reach such heights if their first male child was killed? I dare to suggest that in this situation, neither the First, nor the Second, nor, especially, the Third Punic War would have been required - the Carthaginians would have exterminated themselves.

Now, standing on Carthaginian soil, I will turn to those who give life to man. How long would an idol stand for a deity who wanted to devour every first-born child you born? It’s scary to imagine what you would do with that unfortunate priest who tried to convey to you the will of such a bloodthirsty god. Such a sacrifice contradicts all the instincts inherent in us by nature, which help us to survive ourselves and preserve our race. And even the stern God of the Old Testament was forced to intervene and stop the hand of Abraham raised over his son... For who needs a god who orders us to kill our children?

It is probably not by chance that scientists come to the conclusion that this terrible legend about child sacrifices in Carthage is not true, and mass children’s graves only speak of the high infant mortality rate in those days.

However, let's get back to reality...

PHOTOS OF TICKETS!!!

The archaeological museum-reserve includes:
- Baths of Antoninus Pius;
- Museum on Birsa Hill;
- Quarter of Roman villas;
- Theater and Odeon;
- Amphitheater and circus...

The ticket is single for all attractions. You also need to pay separately for photography.

As always, we arrived in Carthage in the evening, and it was necessary to clearly understand where to run so as not to waste precious time. We start with the Baths of Antoninus Pius, one of the most spectacular objects of Carthage.

Baths of Antoninus Pius

The baths were built right on the seashore between 147 and 162. AD and were second in size only to the Baths of Trajan in Rome.

An entire archaeological park has been created around the thermal baths. The entrance alley divides the park into two parts. On the left are ancient Phoenician burials, house foundations, and swimming pools. On the right are the ruins of huge baths built under the Roman Emperor Antoninus.

Roman aristocrats visited thermal baths not so much for hygienic procedures, but for relaxation, communication, and business negotiations. It was to that time that the ancient Roman proverb goes back: “the patrician went to the bathhouse, and at the same time washed himself.”

From the huge structure, only the ruins of the lower, utility floor were preserved, where the water was heated and from where steam and heated air were supplied.

Individual surviving columns installed by archaeologists rise above the ruins and give an idea of ​​how high the main floor of the baths was.

Roman Villa Quarter

The archaeological park of Roman villas (Parc archeologique des Villas romaines) is located on the site of a former residential quarter, which, in turn, occupies the territory of a Punic necropolis of the 3rd–2nd centuries. BC.

We are walking along a street that is already two thousand years old!

One of the 3rd century Roman houses was partially restored in 1960.

Based on the mosaic depicting birds found here, this villa was called the Poultry House (maison de la Voliere).

The basements of the house are full of other mosaics.

By the way, after visiting the museum in Bardo, all sorts of thoughts come to mind about where it is still more appropriate to contemplate them. And we must admit that art dies in a museum...

Column in the atrium of a Roman villa.

Time was running out. Having limited ourselves to examining the Poultry House villa, we rushed to the next attraction of Carthage. A security guard who happened to meet us, not quite on topic, advised us to take a shortcut through the field.

For some reason, we took his advice and walked for a long, long time through a sun-scorched wasteland, past a newly built mosque to the Odeon.

El Abidine Mosque (2003)

Presumably, the Odeon was built under Emperor Septimius Severus for poetry competitions. Destroyed by vandals, and subsequently its ruins served as material for Byzantine buildings. What we saw through the fence somehow did not inspire us, and we hurried back to the car, which had been left in front of the entrance to the quarter of Roman villas. What we cut “across the field” remains a mystery to us...

We had to ask passers-by for directions to Birsa Hill a couple of times.

Birsa Hill

Cathedrale St. Louis (1890)

On the hill rises a majestic cathedral in the Byzantine-Moorish style. It is consecrated in honor of the King of France, Louis IX, who died in these places during the crusade he undertook to north Africa in 1270. Until 1964, the church housed the body of the Archbishop of the Catholic Mission in North Africa, Cardinal Lavigerie, who was reburied in Rome after the declaration of independence of Tunisia.

Nearby is the entrance to the National Museum of Carthage (Musee National de Carthage), located in the building of the former monastery of the White Priesthood, whose monks laid the foundation for the collection.

On the outside walls there are huge panels with Roman mosaics.

On the ground floor of the museum there is a collection of ceramics, Punic tombstones, funerary vases, and oil lamps. On the second floor there is sculpture and many small exhibits: coins, jewelry, dishes, etc.

A copy of the giant head of Princess Antonina (the original is in the Louvre).

Construction of Roman Carthage on the ruins of a Phoenician city.

Fragments of an ancient Roman mosaic.

The excavations of the hill of Byrsa are one of the rare sites in Carthage with surviving structures from the times of the Phoenicians. Presumably, this is a residential quarter of the first quarter of the 2nd century BC.

In the distance you can see an island in the harbor - a former Phoenician port.

An ancient Roman sculpture is displayed on the observation deck next to the museum.

At the exit from Carthage, a policeman stopped us - noticing a camera in the hands of the navigator, he asked us to put it away and not take it all the way to Sidi Bou Said.

Sidi Bou Said

Sidi Bou Said is located a few kilometers north of Carthage. The entrance to the hill where the center is located is blocked by a barrier, but it can be raised for a small fee. Having some difficulty parking on the steep streets, we go for a walk.

The main tourist attraction here is the game of rich contrasts: snow-white walls of buildings in the company of piercing blue window casings, shutters and figured bars.

In general, Sidi Bou Said is a popular popular town, where everything is tailored for tourists. Even the colors of the houses. Perhaps this combination is typical for Andalusia (from where the Arabs moved here), but not at all for Tunisia - we have already seen this.

They say that Sidi Bou Said became famous after the famous German expressionist August Macke painted the painting “View of the Mosque” here, in which he was able to convey all the colors of this city. And in general, there is too much here that suggests a lyrical mood. Luckily, no one grabs you by the sleeve or asks you to “just look”... Perhaps the traders are already tired after a hot day...

Without a doubt, we are also tired - is it a joke to enjoy Tunisian sights all day? Medina of Tunisia, Bardo Museum, Carthage... It's time and honor to know!

I'll tell you a secret, Sidi Bou Said was the best end to a long tourist day I've ever seen. Probably the reason for this is the invigorating mint tea with pine nuts.

This kind of tea is served everywhere here, but it is believed that the most correct one is at Cafe de Nattes, where we wandered quite by accident.

This is the most cinematic cafe in Tunisia - its interiors with spiral green-and-red columns and mat-covered benches have appeared in a dozen films, including the French saga about the restless Angelique.

Interiors of Cafe de Nattes.

We sat on the open terrace and slowly sipped local tea-with-nuts, lazily watching the action below... A most exciting pastime!

It seems to me that those great people whose portraits now hang on the walls of the famous cafe were guilty of this activity: Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Andre Gide...

It's getting dark, it's time to return to Mahdia. Before a long journey, you need to refresh yourself. Downstairs they sell an authentic Arab dish - meat in pita bread, generously diluting the dish with not at all Arabic french fries. A young Arab at the counter asks what sauces to add. I carelessly ask you to add harissa to my flatbread - it looks too appetizing on the plate. The kebab man turned out to be a bad person: looking at me slyly, he added sauce to me from the heart. I couldn’t finish eating my shawarma, despite all my love for hot spices - it turned out to be incredibly hot! So we went back to the hotel, calming the fire in our mouths with copious amounts of water. Yes, yes, I know, I know, water won’t help. What should we do?!

The way home was along Tunisian highway number 1. How can a driver have fun on an empty straight road? Only music. As we moved away from the capital, there was less and less European music, and more and more Arabic music. Have you tried listening to it for hours on end? I haven't tried it either. For the untrained ear, this turned out to be sheer torture - the melodies did not seem to differ from one another even by a note, and the lyrics consisted entirely of howls. In general, we drove the rest of the way in silence, and returned to the hotel well after midnight.

To be continued...

In this review I will show photographs of the baths (public baths) on the territory of Carthage; naturally, only ruins remained of the baths, but in good condition. Baths were for the elite; it was considered prestigious to have your own home next to them. In general, in the history of the inhabitants it was an important political and recreational object.

But I’ll start the review with photographs of the sea; between trips from the hill and the thermal baths, we were taken for lunch. I took a few pictures to brighten it up, so that there were not only ruins, but also some kind of life.

1. These city beaches are different from the beaches that everyone is used to in resort towns, they are not well-groomed and here it’s just locals relaxing, people swimming, but not much.

2. There are not a huge number of hotels here, just ordinary houses, local people. some trash

3. The girls from the bus immediately used the sea for photography:)

4. In white, a couple from St. Petersburg lived in my hotel. I remembered them

5. Chairs - used in the evenings for locals to drink...

6. But now let’s return to Carthage and the baths, in order to get to them you need to go through this park of palm trees

7. There are already many more tourists here than in previous places; they are brought here both from liners and from resort places.

8. Less than an hour is allotted for the walk. Naturally, everyone runs here, take photos, drink water and get on the bus. The guide himself tells only the introductory part along the way and then free time.

9. To have an idea of ​​what the baths were originally like, there is a model, its execution is so-so, they could have remade it, but what is it?

10. Again, the advantage of this place is that there is a sea nearby; a good view in ancient times was no less important than it is now.

11. On that side there is an exit and a small cafe

12.

13. Somewhere near this place is the residence of the president

14. Slaves worked at the baths to warm the stoves in the hot city. It’s hard to imagine what this work was like.

15. Another good thing here is that you can hide in the shadows while wandering through the ruins; there are well-preserved objects

16. Clear blue skies, a huge plus of southern countries, I rarely see this at home

17.

18. Well, now it’s time to walk through the ruins themselves and not photograph them from the side

19.

20. Many people take photographs of ruins, but there are also those who only take pictures of themselves against their background. Which category do you belong to?

21. This is also a great place for children to play trick or treat.

22. Most likely this place will not be developed further, these are not the best times in Tunisia after the revolution, but this is the main thing. so that it doesn't get worse

23.

24. Possibly a channel for water, most likely already dirty. It is difficult to understand exactly where and what was located. One can only fantasize; it is not a fact that everything on the model is correct.

25. At this point I will interrupt the story so as not to take a footcloth of 50 photos and from this point I will continue the photo walk.

Previously from a trip.

The baths (public baths) of Antony Pius were intended for the elite of the Roman province. Once upon a time, their terraces offered a picturesque view of the sea. Today, here lie the ruins of the once mighty Roman city of Carthage. In order to ensure that the water in the baths always remained hot, the unfortunate slaves were forced to spend twenty hours a day in the heat of a hot stove. The baths building itself was a very large-scale structure - it was supported on powerful columns, and the dome rose thirty meters above the frigidarium.

All the aristocrats and the cream of society sought to build their villas closer to the baths of Antonius Pius. This place was considered some kind of unofficial forum - here they discussed the most important political issues, concluded major trade deals and simply exchanged various types of information.

Ancient Christian burial

The Asterius Chapel was built in the 7th century over a Christian burial ground. The chapel contains a mosaic with Christian symbols. The ornament is reminiscent of the mosaic in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. On the walls of the chapel there are tiles with images of animals.

What sights of Carthage did you like? Next to the photo there are icons, by clicking on which you can rate a particular place.

Villa of a rich Roman

The villa is located on a high hill. It was a rich house for several families with state rooms, terraces, a swimming pool and private baths.

Columns from Phoenician Carthage of various shapes were used in the construction of the house.

The villa's courtyard area is richly decorated with thematic mosaics, which are about three centuries old.

The National Museum of Carthage is one of the oldest in Tunisia, located on Rue Colline de Boursa in the eastern part of the city. Models of Carthage in various periods of its existence are presented here, and the museum itself stands on the spot where construction of the city began in the first century BC. The building itself is not very large, but it offers a magnificent view of modern Tunisia. Its exhibition includes ancient sarcophagi and sculptures that date back to the Roman and Punic periods. The halls of the museum contain evidence that the Phoenicians were the first to reach the shores of Australia and America more than twenty centuries ago, long before Tasman and Columbus.

Near the museum itself are the ruins of the old city; here are statues of the goddess Tanit and the god Baal. Also near it is a place where sacrifices were previously made. In our time, urns with remains of animal ashes have been found here. On the steles under the urns are carved the prayers that accompanied each sacrificial ceremony. Near the steles, archaeologists found ceremonial clay masks and remains of dishes, which were soon included in the museum’s exhibition. Most of the finds are of great historical value.

Cathedral of Saint Louis in Carthage

St. Louis Cathedral was built not so long ago - in 1890. The architecture of the cathedral contains such styles as Moorish, Gothic, Byzantine. The construction of the cathedral was carried out with the permission of Hussein II Bey. This became possible thanks to Cardinal Lavigerie, who supervised the construction.

The cathedral was built in honor of Saint Louis IX, who died on this land in the 12th century during the siege of Tunisia. His statue is located in a small garden on the cathedral grounds, not far from the archeology museum.

Until 1965, the cathedral was considered the residence of the Archbishop of Carthage. Today, the Cathedral of St. Louis is not active. Music festivals of traditional Tunisian and classical music are held here.

Excavations on Birsa Hill

Once upon a time, in the center of ancient Carthage, the Byrsa fortress towered. According to legend, it was on this land that there were scraps of bull skin, on which the Gods allowed mere mortals to build one of the most majestic cities of antiquity. The name "Birsa" itself translates as "skinned".

Birsa fortress was surrounded by two walls. Thanks to excavations, it became known that inside the fortress there was a temple to Eshmun, and on the outskirts there were Phoenician houses, some of which could reach five floors in height. Surprisingly, the ancient Romans themselves helped preserve these buildings. The fact is that when the Romans built new Carthage, they tore down the top of the hill in order to subsequently expand it. And they poured earth and cobblestones onto ancient buildings that had no value for the Romans. Thus, the Romans helped to “protect” a fragment of the Birsa fortress from further plunder by the Arabs. These buildings can still be seen today.

Working residence of the President of Tunisia

There are many modern buildings on the territory of Carthage. Among such buildings, next to the baths of Antonius Pius, is the working residence of the President of Tunisia.

Roman theater in Carthage

On the slope of a mountain near the sea there was a grandiose Roman theater. The ruins of several stone tiers—the spectator rows—have survived to this day. The theater seated about 5,000 people. Massive columns have also been preserved - about one and a half meters in diameter. They are made of pink granite. Here you can see fragments of marble slabs and statues. The scene has practically not been preserved. The Roman theater is today used as a venue for exhibitions and various performances.

Tophet Salambo

In 1921, near the settlement of Salambo in Carthage, archaeologists found a place that resembled a cemetery. The scientists saw urns buried in several rows with the charred remains of both animals and small children. This cemetery was called Tophet: it was believed that sacrificed children and animals were buried here.

The biblical word "Tophet" means an open-air altar. This was the name of the ritual place in Jerusalem where pagans sacrificed their children to the supreme deity Moloch. There is also a legend about the Carthaginians sacrificing children to Baal. In order for the deity to be favorable to the inhabitants, the family had to sacrifice their firstborn to him.

Further research, however, showed that the legends about the sacrifices were greatly exaggerated. Perhaps such a ritual really existed - however, a child who had already died was brought to the altar. The deity was asked for new, healthy offspring. And Tophet is a cemetery for children who died from illnesses.

The road from Carthage to the Baths of Antoni Pius

Along this paved road, the ancient ordinary inhabitants of Carthage walked to the baths, and wealthy citizens traveled in stretchers. Modern travelers, having passed this path, feel the scale of the ancient city-state.

Brazilian Embassy

On the street leading to the excavations of ancient Carthage, the building of the Brazilian Embassy is located. The small modern building is surrounded by greenery and flowers.

Previously from a trip.

A very interesting part of the ancient city of Carthage, located in the suburbs of Tunisia, are the ruins of the Roman Baths of Emperor Antoninus Pius, located on the territory of the Archaeological Park. The Carthaginian ruins of the Roman Baths are considered the second largest in the Roman Empire, and are second in size only to the Baths of Trajan, in the capital of Italy - Rome.

In ancient times, the Roman baths of Carthage were the most popular place for recreation and meetings among representatives of the local aristocracy, who here not only talked about personal problems while swimming, but also had business conversations and resolved issues that were very important for the city. The Roman baths of Anthony Pius in Carthage occupied about two hectares of land. These ruins are the remains of only the Roman period of Carthage, and nothing remains from the Punic period, since the Romans erected all the buildings on top of the more ancient Punic houses.

As we know from history lessons, Carthage was the most important Phoenician colony, and its power eventually spread far beyond the Byrsa Hill, where it was originally founded by Princess Eliza. When Carthage was captured by the Romans, one of the emperors who ruled it was Antony Pius - a man who was essentially kind and attentive to others: he was able to significantly improve the situation of slaves, built roads to better connect the disparate parts of the vast Roman Empire, and erected public buildings . It is thanks to him that today we see the ruins of the Roman Baths in Carthage, which are located on the outskirts. These baths were public, they were built in the period from 146 to 162. They were located on the picturesque seashore of the Gulf of Tunisia. True, during the construction some miscalculations were made, the consequences of which were expressed in the collapse of this majestic ancient structure. In 389, a restoration was carried out, but this did not help for long: everything collapsed again and since then no one has tried to restore the baths. On the contrary, their stones were stolen by local residents to build their houses.

To this day, some fragments of the basement walls and foundation have been preserved from the majestic Roman Baths of the city of Carthage. In the basements of these public baths there was a plumbing system and water was heated, in addition, there were rooms for workers at the thermal baths. The rooms of the baths themselves were located on the upper floors, from which visitors had the opportunity to go down to the seashore along a magnificent marble staircase, which, unfortunately, has not survived to this day. The construction of the baths was carried out according to a symmetrically drawn up plan: one wing was for men, the other for women. The vault of the main room was supported by eight powerful granite columns, which were crowned with Corinthian white marble capitals. By the way, one of these eight columns was recently erected in its rightful place, and parts of other columns and capitals can be seen scattered on the territory of the baths.

In those ancient times, visiting the baths was a truly complex ritual. The ceremony began with the visitor changing clothes in a specially designated room - the apodytherium, where there were various shelves and niches for clothes. Then he had to decide where he wanted to go first: to the hot, relaxing pool or to the gymnasium - a place where aristocrats discussed intellectual topics or trained. Then the visitor went to the tepidarium, where he warmed up well and could start washing. That is, as you already understand, in ancient times the Roman baths were not only a place where people took care of personal hygiene, but also a place of communication, relaxation, and entertainment. And these were not just baths in our modern understanding, but luxurious halls, with rich decoration, many servants, where it was a pleasure to relax. It was not for nothing that rich Roman aristocrats often spent whole days on the territory of the thermal baths.

Today, the ruins of the Roman Baths of Carthage Antonius Pius are on the UNESCO World Heritage List, along with other ruins of ancient Carthage. Of course, looking at the remains of the former grandeur, it is very difficult to imagine the ancient splendor; this can only be done by getting acquainted with the plan of the ancient building, carved on a slab located on the stairs leading to the baths.

The places around the Roman Baths on the territory of the Archaeological Park are no less interesting; there is an ancient cemetery here. If you plunge into ancient history, then previously there was a place of worship of the god Baal-Hammon and the goddess Tanit - who were considered the city patrons of Carthage, and in order for these gods to be favorable to the local residents, it was customary for them to sacrifice stillborn boys, although according to other versions they were sacrificed living first-born boys are sacrificed. This tradition dates back to the fifth century BC. Details of this shocking ritual can be read in Gustave Flaubert's novel Salammbô. Archaeologists, during their search work in the territory of ancient Punic burials, discovered fifty thousand small sarcophagus urns hiding the remains of infants. When they restored the tombstones of these graves, they saw carved on them the symbols of the patron gods, children's silhouettes, a crescent moon, a female figure with raised hands, personifying the goddess Tanit, the solar disk - the personification of the god Baal Hammon. You can see these small sarcophagi here, they were placed along the path leading to the Roman baths. It's a little shocking and seems disrespectful to the dead, but we only see what we see. Moreover, some sarcophagi are open, naturally there are no remains there anymore, others are closed, and the presence of contents in them is unknown, but most likely they are also already empty. All this is a little jarring. And further, the path leads you to a half-excavated crypt burial of representatives of the ancient aristocracy, a mysterious door leads somewhere underground. Nearby there are several excavated pits, now empty, but formerly serving as graves for poor people, since it was customary to simply bury them in pits rather than bury them in crypts.

Above the territory of the Archaeological Park rises a hill, fenced with a high wall along its contour, there is the residence of the President of Tunisia, which is seriously guarded by the military with machine guns. Taking photographs of government facilities, military, police and military equipment is prohibited in Tunisia, because if people are specifically watching this, they can force you to erase the shots taken.

Ruins of the Roman Baths of Carthage- a very interesting historical object, giving a real idea of ​​the luxury in which the ancient Romans, who then ruled this great city, lived in ancient times.
