Salammbô

About the show

During a revolt by Carthage’s unpaid mercenaries, the priestess Salammbô captivates their leader Mâtho. Mâtho steals the sacred veil of Tanit, and Salammbô enters his camp to recover it; later, as Carthage celebrates victory, the condemned Mâtho dies at Salammbô’s feet, and she falls dead over his body.
