Ancient Village or Settlement in Tunisia

Punic town dating to 3rd Century BCE, then Roman town with famous well preserved but unfinished amphitheater. There are other ruins here, but hardly any archeology has been done. Coordinates given for Amphitheater Artifacts are in the El Jem Museum and several villas in back of the Museum.
