History
A small modern village now lies at the site of an ancient fortified farm or villa and associated small settlement (name unknown), approximately 13 km northwest of modern Tataouine in Tunisia. Archaeological survey, published in 2023, reports that the significant surface presence of ancient ceramics (3rd - 5th centuries CE) surround the visible ruins of the structure, extending over 150,000 square meters, with highest concentrations immediately around and to the south and east where an ancient cistern has been documented.
