Dates have different jobs
A tradition, construction range, political event, deposit relation and excavation campaign are different statements. The chapters do not synchronize every area.

A CHANGING DISTRIBUTION OF PLACES
One city. Uneven histories.
Choose a chapter to focus the reading.
The areas keep their own sequences.
Continue through six source-based architectural studies: Byrsa, La Malga, Magon, the Odeon houses, the harbour and Damous el Karita.Explore Carthage in 3D ↗
The imperial baths provide a close architectural study. The city chapters retain their own chronological scope; this drawing is a named restoration proposal, not a reconstruction of every chapter.

Modern mapped extents and cartographic anchors. Selection marks a discussion focus; it does not date every wall or show ancient absence.

ARCHITECTURAL READING MODELS
Turn the evidence in space.
Three original models explain dimensions, deposits and relationships. Each keeps its own source and uncertainty.

Change scale. Keep the relationship.
Local cartographic anchors, regional places and documentation precedents are distinct records. A comparison is not a route.
Modern physical context · Natural Earth, public domain. City anchors: existing OSM-derived records, © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. Regional and documentation coordinates: Pleiades, CC BY 3.0; individual provenance retained. No ancient shoreline or survey geometry is inferred.
A COMPARISON STARTS WITH A QUESTION
What becomes clearer elsewhere?
Test an interpretation, a representation or a recording practice. Shared appearance does not establish a shared history.
Figures are fitted independently. They have no common display scale or geometric registration. Original analytical diagrams remain distinct from publication excerpts.
Keep a source-bound note, or continue to the existing comparative readers.

Images have different roles
Surviving fabric, restored masonry, museum models, published reconstructions and original analytical drawings remain separately described.
