C. , a century after their destruction — that great Caesar conceived the idea of this truly- imperial way of celebrating the centenary. But before he could carry it out he had fallen by the assassin's hand, a victim to Catonism. The heir in whom he was so fortunate, his adopted son Augustus, carried out his project with great magnificence in 19 B. C. , sending out no fewer than three thousand colonists to join with the natives in the restoration of Carthage. It is Augustus's rebuilding of Carth...age which Virgil describes in the iEneid as the work of Dido, and when Strabo wrote, a good deal less than half a century afterwards, it was already as populous as any city of Africa. Carthage, under the perfect security of the Pax Romana, acquired a greater commerce than she had ever enjoyed in the days of her independence, and once more became the rival of Rome in size and wealth, though she remained politically subservient. The odd thing was that in Christian times the rivalry extended to ecclesiastical as well as temporal impor- tance.
