Punic name of Cartagena?

[Jaywalker-Jack]

Besides, didn't they have any imagination? When they build a city, they call it Qart Hadasht when it's big and Maqom Hadasht when it's not. When they build a trading outpost, they ask the natives what they should call it My faith in Punic inventiveness is fading.

Well, just about every second city in America has a name copied and pasted from somewhere else.

Anyway, in the past the names of cities were more like nicknames, for example so and so's city (eg Constantinople, Constantine's city) or something the settlement was associated with (eg Dublin, from Dubh Linn meaning dark pool - a deep harbour). So the Carthaginians new city in spain was simply "the new city, in spain".

That's actually pretty funny if you think about this:

- Carthage, Arkansas
- Carthage, Illinois
- Carthage, Indiana
- Carthage, Maine
- Carthage, Mississippi
- Carthage, Missouri
- Carthage, New York
- Carthage, North Carolina
- Carthage, Ohio
- Carthage, South Dakota
- Carthage, Tennessee
- Carthage, Texas

Who comes up with these?
