Description
Through the effigy of Sophonisba, this program delves into the ancient and legendary roots of Tunisia, recalling the prestigious heritage of Punic Carthage. The illustration, inspired by classical iconography showing the Carthaginian noblewoman with the cup of poison, symbolizes supreme sacrifice, patriotism and resistance to Roman hegemony. This thematic choice underlines the historical depth of Tunisian identity, anchored in an ancient Mediterranean heritage where historical female figures embody national pride and the complexity of geopolitical alliances of Antiquity.
