Abbir Maius

Abbir Maius also known as Abbiritanus was a Roman and Byzantine-era civitas (city), later municipium, in the Roman province of Africa proconsularis (today northern Tunisia).

[1][2] The town is identified through inscriptions[3][4] with ruins near Henchir el Khandaq in Zaghouan Governorate (latitude 36.374, longitude 10.008826 ).

[5] In Roman times this would have placed the city in the bread basket Medjerda River Valley, south of Carthage.

The city had an aqueduct,[6] completed by procurator Q. Geminius Faustus[7] and bath house.

[8] And,[4][9] like Thignica, was a civitas dependent of Carthage but under the emperor Caracalla was promoted to be a municipium.
