Baal Hammon was an ancient deity worshipped primarily in Carthage, a powerful city-state in North Africa. He was associated with fertility, agriculture, and the sun, often depicted as a bearded figure holding a scepter. His worship included rituals and sacrifices, particularly involving animals, to ensure good harvests and prosperity for the community. As a significant god in the Punic pantheon, Baal Hammon was often linked to Tanit, the goddess of love and war. Together, they represented the balance of life and death, fertility and destruction. The worship of Baal Hammon reflects the cultural and religious practices of the ancient Mediterranean world.
