today i went to Uthina ...
you should go there it's spectacular roman and byzantine site just 20 km far from Tunis ...
the site is still under excavation but you can still visit some remarquable remains !!!
Uthina is thought to be one of the oldest colonies in Africa, since its creation (by veterans) dates back to the time of Augustus, although the site is in reality probably of Berber origin. the ruins extend over approximately 140 hectares. Worth a visit, a large amphitheater dating from the 2nd century AD, a theater, Roman villas which have yielded very fine mosaic floors (including those on exhibit in the Bardo Museum), private and public baths, large cisterns, and an important monument that may be identified as the capitol.
