No the article is about how child sacrifice by Carthaginians was widely accepted by ancient (Greek and Roman) authors, but has been doubted by (some) 20th Century historians and archeologists.
I guess it depends on what it means "accepted"; my sentence is indeed ambiguous.
Romans did not accept (like) the fact that Carthaginians sacrificed children. They did accept (acknowledge, which is a much better word here) the fact that children were sacrificed there.
Some modern historians/archeologies did not acknowledge (nor presumably like) that at all.
