Overview[]
The Poeni are strictly not ethnically Libyan at all - but there was no other category to put them in. More commonly known as the Phoenicians, the Poeni were responsible for the construction of Carthage and its neighbouring cities such as Thapsus, Utica and Hadrumentum. Also known to have constructed cities in Spain and Sicily, the now broken Poeni are known to be chief stirrers in many of the wars in Mediterranean Europe.
