• Never satisfied with what they achieved, the Carthaginians were constantly on the lookout for new markets.
• It is believed that around 480 BC. they have landed in Corn (Britain) which was rich in tin.
• It is said that about 30 years later, Hano, a member of one of the leading families in Carthage, led an expedition of 60 ships carrying 30,000 men and women to establish new colonies.
