Yes this is certainly true. Despite the Carthage being the mortal enemy of Rome, I suspect romans culturally appropriated more than they would like to admit from the Phoenicians. For all their bad points the Romans were not racists in the modern sense and I wonder how much this world view came down from the Phoenicians.
