Also noteworthy is recent suggestion that number of British coastal names (incl Thanet!) may be of Punic origin! :)https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/590444130351902720 …
Dr Caitlin Green added,
So, for example, the Isle of Thanet, Kent, may well=Punic 'Y TNT, 'Isle (of) Tanit', the Carthaginian goddess...pic.twitter.com/oGwLM0D7Os
Indeed, recently argued by Broderick (supported by Richard Coates) that even name Britain may be Punic or similar, meaning 'island of tin'!
And that is the end of this thread :) Incidentally, refs for name Britain as Punic=Beiträge zur Namenforschung, 44 (2009)+Nomina, 35 (2012)

I love this conflation. Still trying to figure out a way to use it in an academic paper.
Yes, same, but difficult one! Perhaps on censer/Birka ring or similar, as illustration?! ;)
