Carthage (Eighteen Hundred and Eleven)

Located in what is modern-day Tunisia, in northern Africa, Carthage was the capital city of an ancient civilization. Its founding is sometimes ascribed to Queen Alyssa or Dido (a queen who is often alluded to in literary texts). The city was destroyed by the Romans during a 3-day siege in 146 BC and then rebuilt as Roman Carthage, serving as the Roman empire's major African city. It was also sacked and destroyed again in the Battle of Carthage in 698.

Plymouth was the city in the southwest of England to which Eward Ferrars was sent to attend private school rather than public school closer to London where his brother Robert was schooled. Plymouth was also the place where Edward met and became engaged to Lucy Steele. This picture is a modern picture, but gives a good sense of what the seaside city is like.
