History
A road station located ten Roman miles from Carthage on the road that circumnavigated Lake Tunis on the west and south, Ad Decimum is probably to be located somewhere in the vicinity of modern Sidi-Fathallah. A significant battle between the Vandals and a Byzantine force was fought in the vicinity of Ad Decimum in 533 CE.
