The Punic religion was a direct continuation of the Phoenician variety of the polytheistic ancient Canaanite religion. At Carthage, the chief gods were Baal Hammon (purportedly "Lord of the Brazier")[16] and his consort Tanit, but other deities are attested, such as Eshmun, Melqart,[17] Ashtart, Reshef, Sakon, and Shamash.[18]
Carthaginians were Semitic people who worshipped Baal.
Various Greek and Roman sources describe and criticize the Carthaginian practice of sacrificing children by burning. Many ancient Greek and Latin authors describe some version of child sacrifice to "Cronos" (Baal Hammon).[26][27] These descriptions were compared to those found in the Hebrew Bible describing the sacrifice of children by burning to Baal and Moloch at a place called Tophet.[26] The ancient descriptions were seemingly confirmed by the discovering of the so-called Tophet of Salammbรด in Carthage in 1921, which contained the urns of cremated children.[28] However, modern historians and archaeologists debate the reality and extent of this practice.[29][30] Some scholars propose that all remains at the tophet were sacrificed, whereas others propose that only some were.[31]
The cult to Baal Hammon, and the consequent sacrifice of children, though banned by Rome,[64] continued openly under the guise of worshipping Saturn until at least the proconsulate of Tiberius Iulius Secundus in Africa (131โ132). This is attested by Tertullian in his Apologeticus, where he reports that Tiberius crucified the priests of "Saturn" on the same trees they consecrated to the god. Tertullian also mentions the goddess Juno Caelestis as a romanization of Tanit.[65][66]
Carthage was rebuilt about 46 BC by Julius Caesar, and settlements in the surrounding area were granted to soldiers who had retired from the Roman army. People of Punic origin prospered again as traders, merchants and even politicians of the Roman Empire. The emperor Septimius Severus had Punic ancestry.[67]
