BY THE SHORES OF
CARTHAGE (clockwise):
(1) Berber-Hafside prince Moulay Ahmed, son of Moulay Hassan, the king of Tunis,
bemoaning the loss of their kingdom during the great turmoil of 1535 with the Carthage Aqueduct in the background--d'après Vermeyen's lost painting MVLEI AHMET PRINCEPS AFRICANVS FILIVS REGIS TVNIS; painting by P. P. Rubens (1577-1640). (2) St. Louis IX, King of France, on his death bed by the shores of Carthage (25 August 1270); Grandes chroniques de France: ms. fr. 6465, fol. 284v: Bibliothèque nationale de France.
(3) The Habsburg's Holy Roman Emperor Charles Quint charging Arabs and Turks by the clearly visible Aqueduct of Carthage, while his imperial fleet blocks the port of Goletta during the siege of 1535, with the city of Tunis far in the background, beyond the Stagnum (or Lac de Tunis) from a crystal plaque by Giovanni de Bernardi (1496-1553). The aqueduct, running a distance of 80 miles from its source of Ain Jouggar in the Zaghouan mountain, built by Roman Emperor Hadrian (76-138 AD), is considered by many to be Tunisia's pyramids.
