Were the Phoenicians Nomadic Pastoralists?

Question

Carthage was not a city it was Phoenician Colony.

Answer 1

Actually, "Carthage" is based on the Latin form of the Phoenician name ["Kirt Chadash"] which means "New CITY". It was the name given to the coastal city founded by the Phoenicians, then later as the power extended inland, to the whole colony of which the city was the center.

And NO, the Phoenicians were neither nomadic nor pastoralists. They were famous international traders. Their population was centered in the major PORT cities of Tyre and Sidon, on the Syrian coast (the area that is now Lebanon), from which these people traded with countries all around the Mediterranean. (This is what led to their establishing other port-city colonies, esp. Carthage.)

Though much of the Phoenician wealth came from serving as a conduit for trade/exchange among other nations, they did have a few very importantlocal products, esp. the beautiful, famous "cedars of Lebanon" from their forestlands, and the expensive dyes made from murex sea-shells and the cloth (called "purple") stained with this dye.

Answer 2

"Nomadic" means that they traveled around and didn't have any fixed towns or cities.

"Pastoralists" means that they herded livestock, such as sheep or goats, if not cattle.

I don't know about the very earliest Phoenicians, but I do know that Carthage was a Phoenician city, and so was Tyre.
