Limisa

Limisa (today Aïn-Lemsa) is a town and archaeological site in Kairouan Governorate, Tunisia.

The street pattern of the village is fairly regular in its layout and terrace fields move down the hill from the town to the nearby wadi Oued Maarouf.

The municipal organization is also only slightly understood, as epigraphic evidence indicates Roman-dominated Limisa was initially governed by the Punic-style dual magistracy, the sufetes.

[2] An epigraphic corpus makes it possible to understand some aspects of the city from the architectural point of view as well as from its organization.

From an architectural point of view, epigraphy mentions an arch and the restoration of thermal baths built under Constantine at the end of the 4th century.
