Duncan,
For Punic Stuff... try Kerkouane - pretty well preserved and, well, pretty. Full stop! Also nice and by the sea, so you can go there even in summer without melting away. Particularly nice things are the Tanit symbols in the opus signinum floors and the funky Punic seat-baths in every house. Well worth a visit! There's also a pretty cool Punic quarry at nearby El Haouaria (nearby being a somewhat relative term here... :-) ) )
