## Image Caption
Floor of a house in the [Punic](https://www.worldhistory.org/carthage/) [city](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/) or Kerkouane (modern-day Tunisia) decorated with primitive [mosaic](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mosaic/) pavements, one of which figures the Punic goddess Tanit. Kerkouane was founded during the Punic period, perhaps in the 5th century BCE. The remains constitute the only example of a Phoenicio-Punic city to have survived.
