(BAyeet) <means: House> 326 * '''Class: House. '''326 * '''Class:''' House. 327 327 * '''History:''' Housing was generally built of ‘adobe’ or sandstone then plastered with stucco. Flat roofs predominate, few windows, arched doorways in evidence, kind of a blend of Achaemenian and Mediterranean styles with some tiled roofs. In the biggest cities, especially Carthage and such as Utica, housing was in flat-roofed structures rising as high as 6 and 7 stories (two-storied would be sufficient). 328 328 329 329 * '''Name: Ahuzáh.''' (ah-hoo-ZAH) <means: Carthaginian's Estate> 330 * '''Class: Farm Centre. '''330 * '''Class: '''Farm Centre. 331 331 * '''History:''' Although there must have been many small farms as well, when the Carthaginians expanded into the hinterland, most farms and orchardist establishments were created by the wealthy segment of society that became known as the landowners, and the resulting estates were mostly worked by ‘almost enslaved’ Liby-Phoenicians, Numidians, and whomever they could get. 332 332 333 333 * '''Name: Sadéh.'''

'''350 * '''Class: '''Wall. 351 351 * '''History:''' The Carthaginians built what are referred to as “triple walls” to fortify some of their cities; as triple walls aren’t a practical construct for 0 A.D, the construction of the inner wall is to be used. This wall served not only as a defensive structure but had barracks and stables integrated right into it, and raised towers at intervals. Fodder for elephants and horses, and arms were stored onsite. The ground level consisted of housing for elephants, the second level for horses, and the third level as barracks for the troops. In Carthage alone, 200 elephants, a thousand horses and 15,000~30,000 troops could be housed within the city walls. As shown in the reference drawing, there was also a ditch at the base in front of the wall. These walls were typically built of large blocks of sandstone hewn from deposits nearby, and were never breached by invaders. 352 352 * '''Special:''' … … 354 354 355 355 * '''Name: Migdál-shá'''^'''c'''^'''ar.''' (meeg-DOLL SHAW-arr) <means: Carthaginian Gatetower.> 356 * '''Class: Wall Gate. '''356 * '''Class: '''Wall Gate. 357 357 * '''History:''' The tower sections constituted a 4th level where they rose up to provide even higher firing level platform than that of the top of the wall run. 358 358 * '''Special:''' … … 364 364 === TOWN === 365 365 * '''Name: Namél.''' (naw-MEL) <means: Port Centre> 366 * '''Class: Port Centre. '''366 * '''Class: '''Port Centre. 367 367 * '''History: '''The structure is based upon the centre ‘island’ of skidways and sheds (including shops and admiral’s headquarters) of the inner harbour constructed to house the war fleet of the Carthaginian navy at Carthage. 368 368 369 369 * '''Name: Miqdáš.''' (meek-DOSH) <means: Temple> 370 * '''Class: Health Centre. '''371 * '''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.370 * '''Class: '''Health Centre. 371 * '''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.

(maw-haw-NEH) <means: Military Centre> 374 * '''Class: Military Centre. '''374 * '''Class: '''Military Centre. 375 375 * '''History:''' Although the Carthaginians incorporated stables and barracks into their city walls, for gameplay purposes we use a Military Centre. 376 376 377 377 * '''Name: Šuq.''' (shouk) <means: Trade Centre> 378 * '''Class: Trade Centre. '''378 * '''Class: '''Trade Centre. 379 379 * '''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. 380 380 381 381 === CITY === 382 382 * '''Name: Meçudáh.''' (meh-tsoo-DAW) <means: Blockhouse Fort> 383 * '''Class: Fortress. '''383 * '''Class:''' Fortress. 384 384 * '''History:''' The Carthaginians built a number of rather ‘monolithic’ blockhouse forts sited at critical locations in North Africa, sometimes also in conjunction with long lengths of wall intended to keep the wilder people of the desert to the south from freely ranging into the ‘civilised’ territories under their direct control. 385 385
