What did Tunis used to be called?

Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, was historically known as "Carthage," which was a prominent ancient city and a powerful civilization in the Mediterranean. The name "Tunis" itself is believed to derive from the Berber word "tunis," meaning "to camp" or "to lie down." The city evolved over time, and while Carthage was eventually destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC, Tunis grew in prominence as a settlement in the subsequent centuries. Today, Tunis represents a blend of its ancient heritage and modern developments.
