Henchir-Sidi-Salah

Henchir-Sidi-Salah is a rural locality and archaeological site in the hinterland behind Sfax, Tunisia.

Located at latitude:35°56'18"N, longitude10°8'51"E, Henchir Sidi Salah is close to Ait and Teniour, and Medass Sidi Salah, on the Oued Sidi Salah and near the ruins of Henchir Bou Gherara.

[1][2][3] The ruins that dot the landscape at Sidi Salah are the remains of a fundus (farm or estate) of the Roman province of Byzacena (North Africa).

[5][6] Based on the name "Fundus Dicitanus", it is tentatively proposed that the village/town was the seat of the ancient Christian bishopric of Dices (or Dicensis) which is a home suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.
