Civiltà antiche<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n

At around the year 750 B.C. the Phoenicians<\/strong> settled in Malta. This maritime power based on trade and commerce referred to the island as Maleth<\/em>, which means “shelter”. The Phoenicians were highly civilized people who used the Maltese islands as a stop on their trade routes – a bit like the transhipment industry that has developed here centuries later.<\/p>\n

The Carthaginian Period<\/strong> in Malta started at around the year 480 B.C. Carthage, was a city founded by the Phoenicians on the north coast of Africa located in what is today Tunisia. The Carthaginians ruled Malta more about two and a half centuries. During this time, the inhabitants mostly grew olives, carobs and also produced some textiles. <\/p>\n

The Carthaginians had to relinquish these islands to the Romans<\/strong><\/a> who seized control of Malta at the second Punic War in 218 B.C.<\/p>\n
