Explanation: Carthage was the name of the city/polity that was Rome’s greatest foe during the period of the Mid-Republic. Ultra-conservative Roman senator Cato the Elder reached the point in his wrath for Carthage that, during one period of peace, he would end his every speech to the Senate with “Furthermore, I believe Carthage must be destroyed”, no matter what the topic was; often shortened in remembering to “CARTHAGO DELENDA EST” - “Carthage must be destroyed”, until a final war was finally provoked destroying the much-reduced city-state.

According to popular myth (certainly untrue - the myth was first recorded in the 19th century AD), Rome was so pissed that they salted the land after burning the city in the Third (and final) Punic War.

There’s also a Rome, NY and a Cairo, NY

There’s an alt history mod, submod, called “Ante Bellum: The Lost World” for Europa Universalis IV. One of the changes it makes is adding a group of Carthaginian city states in the New World—Carthage having fled there after the Second Punic War, in an expedition lead by Hannibal. There’s a lot of flavour, missions, events, disasters, etc. You can eventually unite the city states into a reborn Carthage, and reclaim your homeland, which may even have a reborn Roman Empire, depending on the game rules you chose at the start.
