Five gold Carthaginian coins have been discovered at a Carthaginian temple in Tunisia. They are thought to be an offering to the deities. Also found were urns containing infants, premature infants, and animals. It is unclear whether these infant deaths were from natural causes or were victims of sacrifices.
