built 235 days ago
The salting of Carthage is a legend. R.T. Ridley in "To be Taken with a Pinch of Salt: The Destruction of Carthage," Classical Philology Vol 81, No. 2 1986 says the first reference he can find to the salting of Carthage comes from the twentieth century.

As of 2000, the share of housing units in Carthage that were owner-occupied was 46%. Homes in this community tend to be somewhat older than those in other areas. People on their own appreciate the studio and one-bedroom apartments in Carthage. Cheap apartment rents is one thing the village has going for it. Compared to most villages in the state, Carthage has reasonable real estate taxes.

Hancock County, and Carthage, saw its first settlers arrive sometime in the first few decades of the 19th century. By 1833, simple buildings had been erected in Carthage, and the town was platted in 1838. By this time Carthage had become the county seat of Hancock county.

Carthage was not always the rather expensive spice it is today. In fact, when it first came into common use, carthage was so cheap that it spawned the saying "not worth its weight in carthage" to describe a particularly worthless item. The expression remains in common currency, although now, of course, it makes little sense, and is the cause of confusion among young Ghyllians everywhere. Every ten to twelve years, this sparks a grassroots movement that cries for a Systematic Epistemological Action to eliminate the possibility of obfuscation.

From this date to the outbreak of the last persecution under Diocletian, in 303, very little is known of the history of the Church of Carthage. Two of the bishops who succeeded St. Cyprian, Carpophorus and Lucian, in this period of forty-five years are mentioned by Optatus, but nothing is related of them save their names. The worldly spirit which had been the cause of so many defections in the African Church of St. Cyprian's age was equally in evidence in the early part of the fourth century. A new form of apostasy characterized this persecution. In large numbers Christians betrayed their faith by giving up to the civil authorities copies of the Scriptures and the liturgical utensils. These renegades, who received the name of "traditors", were indirectly the cause of the gravest division that had yet been seen in Christendom.
