The Punic funerary remains of Mahdia, a series of tombs carved into the rock, date back to a period between the 5th and the 2nd century BCE and are located in the northeast of Tunisia. These tombs are useful for us to understand the acculturation between the local populations known as Libyans and the Phoenicians of eastern origin. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original article at [https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1888/the-punic-necropolis-of-mahdia/](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1888/the-punic-necropolis-of-mahdia/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - What would you like to know more about? - Anything here you'd push back on? - Have you come across a different take on this topic?
