Humbert Carthage inscriptions
The Humbert Carthage inscriptions are seven Punic inscriptions, found in Carthage by Jean Emile Humbert in 1817 in Husainid Tunisia. They were the first published Punic inscriptions found in Carthage.
Today they are held in the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden. On receipt of the stelae, Caspar Reuvens, the museums’s founding director, noted that “when the possession of these pieces in any museum becomes known to the scholarly world, the fame of that museum will be established”.
