Soup Peddler and Carthage.

Soup Peddler part:
I was just ordering some food from the Soup Peddler. What a great Austin story. Their web site does a good job of explaining what they do and who they are.


Geography part:
Here's a snippet from the beginning of a soup description:
One of the ancient world's great superpowers was Carthage, which is now... Anyone? Anyone?
I made a guess then I was off to the races; Google search, Wiki... oh so soon I was able to assess just how abysmal my geography-ness is. And I've been trying to teach myself Geography for a while.

So...anyone here know in what country contemporary Carthage is? My guess was off by the width of the Mediterranean. Here's a map. Unfortunately Carthage isn't listed.


Let me know whether you get closer than I did. I sure hope so-
And if you don't want to guess or research here's the soup's complete menu description.
