Long before Carthage rose to challenge Rome, its story began with a queen.

In the ancient Phoenician world of the eastern Mediterranean, Dido emerged as one of the most remarkable figures of early antiquity. Born into the royal house of Tyre, she was a woman of intelligence, political skill, and formidable resolve. When the violent ambitions of her brother forced her into exile, Dido gathered loyal followers, sailed across the Mediterranean, and established a new city on the North African coast. That city would become Carthage, one of the most powerful civilizations of the ancient world.
