Thuburbo Majus

Thuburbo Majus (or Thuburbo Maius) is a large Roman site in northern Tunisia [1]. It is located roughly 60 km southwest of Carthage on a major African thoroughfare [1]. Most of the town was built around 150–200 and restored in the 4th century after the Crisis of the Third Century [1]. It received a Capitolium in 168 [1]. A 1916 excavation found a tetrastyle temple [1]. The building was decorated with statues of Apollo, Venus, Silvanus, Bacchus, the Dioscuri, and a satyr [1]. Remains of the house of Bacchus and Ariadne dating back to the early 5th century were excavated in 1925 [1].
