Abstract
Abstract The so‐called sign of Tanit is a symbol characteristic of Phoenician and Punic iconography and is found from the sixth to fifth centuries bce to the second and third centuries ce . This motif is usually depicted on votive stelae from the Tophets, which are the sanctuaries dedicated to Baal Hammon and Tanit. However, it can be found also in residential and funerary contexts as well as on other artefacts (weights, pottery, seals, figurines, etc.). Its meaning, its origin and its direct (and early) connection with the goddess Tanit remain hypothetical.
