Stone figure - help needed

Hi Fernando,

thanks for your reply. Of course I am aware that the region was Carthage in the ancient world. But as far as I know, the letter "w" arised in the mediaeval times. So if it is a replica of some ancient godness, it´s a bit ragged

Well, i was focusing on the riddle "Latin script in Muslim lands". I will leave te W for others to digest. In any case, with or without the W, can you make a phrase out of that inscription?

It means "we [don´t want] no war"

No, I´ve no idea, as it seems that the inscription is only preserved fragmentarily (or should seem so)
