Carthage Poster | Ancient City & Punic Wars Art Deco Print

Powerful enough to threaten Rome. Beautiful enough to be remembered forever.

This Carthage art print imagines the great Phoenician city at its height—before conquest, before fire, before erasure. Framed by monumental columns and guarded by war elephants, the legendary harbor glows beneath a Mediterranean sun as ships move through a city built for trade, wealth, and power.

Rendered in a vintage travel-poster style with bold color and clean geometry, the print blends ancient grandeur with modern design sensibilities. The tagline—“The city so nice, they burned it twice”—adds a sharp, historically grounded edge, nodding to Carthage’s destruction during the Punic Wars, the invasion of the Vandals, and its enduring legacy as Rome’s greatest rival.

Perfect for history lovers, classicists, fans of ancient warfare, or anyone drawn to lost cities and dark historical irony, this piece stands out as both conversation starter and statement art.

Display notes: Satin adds a subtle heat-shimmer glow; matte makes the desert textures and silhouettes feel even more cinematic. Printed in the USA on heavyweight stock.
