Genius Loci: Towards a Roman Understanding of Carthage

Öz

In 146 BCE, Scipio Aemilianus and his Roman forces conquered Carthage at the conclusion of the Third Punic War and laid waste to the city. The genius loci, or spirit of place, that had emanated from the physical site transitioned at the moment of destruction and became a production of Roman representation and memory. One means of portraying Carthage to a Roman audience was through triumphal processions, such as those of the Scipii following the Second and Third Punic Wars or commemorative paintings such as those of M. Valerius Messala and L. Hostilius Mancinus. The Roman fascination with Carthage led to the city’s ultimate rebuilding under Augustus. In re-founding the city as Colonia Concordia Iulia Karthago, he did not simply build another Roman colony, nor did he wipe away any trace of the Punic past. Rather, aided by the mythological narrative provided by Vergil’s Aeneid, Augustus completed a task begun by his legendary ancestor, Aeneas, and built a new Roman Carthage, centered around a genius loci growing in Roman memory for centuries and complete with historical parallels to Rome.
