    372    * '''Class: '''Health Centre.
     372   * '''Class: '''Temple.
    373373   * '''History:''' Quite a few temples and altars were scattered about Carthinginians territory, given up to the worship of various gods in a pantheon that, regrettably, is mostly lost to time and destruction. The structure shown is one found just west of the Bagradas River on a tributary that was dedicated to a pantheon of gods ranging from traditional Phoencicio-Carthaginian to Egyptian and Hellenic. It was actually built of a golden-hued marble (some others from a pink-hued marble also famously quarried in the Carthaginian homeland). Note that Tanit and Baal-Haamon were the were the two principal gods worshipped by a population that was quite religious, therefore their ‘effigies’ should also appear on the façade of the temple or as statuary in front of it, perhaps flanking the entrance.

    376    * '''Class: '''Military Centre.
     376   * '''Class: '''Barracks.
    377377   * '''History:''' The Carthaginians usually housed their soldiers in either great integrated military complexes built into the walls (like in Carthage itself) or in fortified structures not dissimilar from castles. These ranged from garrison armories to citadels large enough to maintain elephants. For gameplay purposes 0 AD will use a Military Centre to represent all of the above.
    378378
    379379 * '''Name: Šūq.''' (shouk) <means: Trade Centre>
    380    * '''Class: '''Trade Centre.
     380   * '''Class: '''Market.
    381381   * '''History:''' Trade centres were probably just big sheds or structures surrounding a ‘market’ area or in a wharf area of a port, but it is felt that the Achaemenian concept below will serve the purpose of the game admirably.
