Thuburnica, Archaeological site in Jendouba Governorate, Tunisia.
The archaeological remains at Thuburnica contain Roman structures including a mausoleum, two arches, a temple, four cisterns, public baths, and an aqueduct.
Roman general Caius Marius established the settlement by allowing veterans to inhabit a Berber village, which Emperor Augustus later transformed into an official colony.
The site demonstrates the transition from pagan worship to Christianity, with a temple of Ba'al Hammon converted into a church during the fourth century.
The Roman bridge at Thuburnica maintains its original function and continues to serve as a crossing point at an elevation of 235 meters above sea level.
This settlement represents one of ten colonies specifically created by Augustus along the Mauretanian coast for retiring Roman legion veterans.
