Phoenicians (jan 1, 320 BC – jan 1, 14 BC)
Description:
Phoenician city-states began to take form 3200 BCE and were firmly established by 2750 BCE. Phoenicia thrived as a maritime trader and manufacturing center from c. 1500-332 BCE and was highly regarded for their skill in ship-building, glass-making, the production of dyes, and an impressive level of skill in the manufacture of luxury and common goods.
Carthage was destroyed in 146 BCE thus ending the era of Phoenician power and expansion. This crucial event serves as the endpoint in our History Date Range for this civilization, although remnants of the Phoenician culture lingered on long after the fall of Carthage.
