From Carthage to Roman Africa

10World Heritage properties

The Tunisia file now connects Carthage, El Cem Amphitheater and Dougga through chronology, settlement form, production, belief, exchange and conservation. The sites are not collapsed into one period or cultural system; each is read through its own material and historical context.
