In a discussion regarding this article there have been hints that there should be pictures of the signs at the Kition sites. I suspect that reproductions—including photos—where text from paragraphs is readable (even if only when using "zoom in" tools) constitutes a violation of the intellectual properties' rights of the Department of Antiquities in Cyprus. – Even linking to such pictures is a violation of said rights, if i am not mistaken. – If someone thinks that the Department will relinquish their rights, and that they will permit Creative Commons license of the picture, then why doesn't someone contact them. – On the other hand, if wikipedia keeps its path clean in relation to the Department, then i find it highly likely that they possibly will view our article with goodwill. In this way we might have access to expertise from the department—so that they can answer simple questions from us, if we are stumped. --The long road homw (talk) 15:32, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Kition. No one has suggested copyright infringement, it has been suggested that this articles citations relies way too heavily on signs and plaques at museums and archaeological sites instead of actual peer reviewed literature. Signs which no one can WP:VERIFY without a trip to Cyprus. But if you must use these signs, please use Template:Cite sign. Heiro 20:26, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"there have been hints"—not necessarily suggestions. - A previous trip to those sites might be enough (for some) to corroborate the signs—or an email to the Department to ask if a certain version of the article, seemingly is out of whack with the way the department has explained things on their sign. - I have asked you previously if "Is there any particular sign reference that you are doubting—more than others?" --The long road homw (talk) 21:06, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The navy was ported at Bamboula. Without having access to any literature I previously have read, I seem to remember that the naval port was connected by a canal, to a civilian port. This canal had not entirely disappeared before the 1800s or 1900s. 89.8.200.89 (talk) 10:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Livius notes that locals also just knew it as Qart-hadast (i.e., Carthage, "Newtown"). — LlywelynII 20:37, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
