Dido — Queen of Carthage | Heritage Metal Sign

She cut an oxhide into a single continuous strip thin enough to encircle an entire hilltop, and on that hilltop she founded Carthage. Fled murder, crossed the Mediterranean, outwitted a king with legal precision, built a city from nothing, and created what would become Rome's most dangerous rival. The greatest political founder in the ancient world was a woman who turned a refugee's flight into a civilization. The oxhide, the rising walls, the crown of the founding queen — in aluminum that shares her permanence.
